A Guatemalan court has ordered the Superior Council of the University of San Carlos (CSU) to provide a report within 48 hours regarding the re-election of Walter Mazariegos as university rector. The order follows the court’s acceptance of a legal appeal – *amparo* – filed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PGN). The *amparo* challenges the validity of Mazariegos’s re-election process. Details of the appeal’s specific arguments have not been released. The CSU must now justify the procedures followed during the re-election. This legal challenge introduces uncertainty surrounding Mazariegos’s position as rector of the USAC, Guatemala’s largest and oldest university. The court’s decision signals increased scrutiny of university governance and potential irregularities in the re-election.
