The Guatemalan government has officially ordered the repatriation of the mortal remains of Miguel Ángel Asturias. The process will be managed jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Sports. Asturias, a Nobel Prize-winning author, is currently interred in France. The initiative aims to bring the literary icon back to his home country. Coordination between the two ministries is essential to handle the legal and logistical requirements of the transfer. This move reflects the state's desire to honor the legacy of one of its most prominent intellectuals. The repatriation will ensure that Asturias rests in the land that inspired much of his work.
