• Sommario/riassunto: Guatemala has a long history of violent conflict, and corruption has been a key driver of that violence, with organized crime and clandestine security groups being closely tied to politicians and government institutions. The movement to advance transparency, accountability, and democratic governance in Guatemala peaked in 2015, when the country's president and vice president were forced to step down, but many civil society groups continue to promote an anticorruption agenda. Since then, the movement has been met with backlash from politicians and members of Guatemala's economic elite, and efforts to root out corruption have been hindered by increasing ideological polarization within both the movement and Guatemalan society as a whole.
