US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA624

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

PolOff discussed reftel request with Carla Rodriguez, 
Director General for Multilateral Affairs, at the Foreign 
Ministry on March 11.  Rodriguez said the current fiscal 
crisis facing the Guatemalan government (President Beger has 
ordered an austerity plan with most Ministries facing 30% 
budget cuts) prevents Guatemala from contributing funds to 
either the UN or International Committee of the Red Cross at 
this point.
