In Guatemala, authorities have initiated a joint operation involving the Army and Police to clear road blockades organized to protest fuel price increases. Interior Minister Marco Antonio Villeda issued a 30-minute ultimatum for protesters to vacate roads, warning of potential arrests and vehicle seizures. The operation, involving the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense, utilizes the National Civil Police and the Army to restore circulation across various departments and municipalities. Authorities are currently investigating whether organized crime groups or political actors are financing or promoting these blockades. While some blockades in areas such as Bethania have been lifted following government statements, other protests remain active. the crackdown continues as officials seek to clear remaining obstructions.
