The Guatemalan Lawyers’ Association (CANG) has publicly rejected the actions of the Superior University Council (CSU) during the recent election of the rector of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala (Usac). CANG alleges interference in the electoral process. The organization is now calling on the judiciary – judges and magistrates – to promptly address the outstanding legal challenges related to the election. This call for resolution indicates ongoing disputes surrounding the legitimacy of the rector’s selection. The lawyers’ group’s statement signals a lack of confidence in the CSU’s handling of the election and emphasizes the need for an impartial legal review. The outcome of these legal actions will determine the future leadership of Usac.
