A growing conflict surrounding the re-election of Walter Mazariegos as rector of the San Carlos University of Guatemala (Usac) is putting pressure on the Constitutional Court (CC). Usac-DIRE alleges the CC President failed to initiate legal actions that could have potentially halted Mazariegos’ continuation in office. This inaction has fueled accusations of bias and raised questions about the CC’s impartiality in the university’s internal affairs. The situation suggests emerging fractures within the CC itself regarding the handling of the Usac rector election. The dispute underscores a power struggle and concerns about the university’s autonomy. This failure to act legally has amplified the tensions surrounding Mazariegos’ position, leaving the future of the university leadership uncertain. The situation is evolving, with potential repercussions for both the university and the CC.
