Banco de Guatemala removes former administration's social media content

As Jonathan Menkos prepares to assume the presidency of the Banco de Guatemala (BANGUAT), the central bank has removed social media content covering the four-year administration of former president Álvaro González Ricci. The deletion of posts across Facebook, X, and Instagram occurred during the transition period leading up to October 1, 2026.

While the bank's official website still maintains records of González Ricci's tenure, including monetary conferences from 2026 and his professional history, the social media history for his term is no longer visible. Search engines still retain some traces of older posts, but no evidence has been found of similar content purges during previous leadership transitions.
