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.

UNCLAS GUATEMALA 001561
SIPDIS
E.O. 12958: N/A
TAGS: PGOV, PINR, KDEM, PREL, GT
SUBJECT: RIOS MONTT CAMPAIGN SUFFERS THIRD LEGAL DEFEAT
REF: A. GUATEMALA 1530
B. GUATEMALA 1479
On June 16, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) denied Rios
Montt's appeal for a review of the TSE's June 12 split
decision against the legality of his Presidential candidacy.
TSE President Bolanos told reporters that the widely expected
SIPDIS
decision was based on Article 186 of the constitution. The
FRG announced that it will file an appeal with the Supreme
Court. Any decision by the Supreme Court, either for or
against, is expected to ultimately be appealed to the
Constitutional Court for final resolution. Parties have
until September 9 to register their candidates, giving the
FRG sufficient time for the appeal process to run its course.
