Edgar Rubio Castañeda

Colonel Edgar Rubio Castañeda is a Guatemalan military officer and author known for his critical commentary on the intertwining of oligarchy and narcotrafficking in Guatemala. His book, 'Guatemala: Narcoestado y Oligarquía,' delves into issues of corruption and the military's role in the socio-political landscape of the country. Recently, he made headlines when the Guatemalan Army prohibited him from presenting his book at a literary event, citing military regulations that restrict active officers from engaging in politically sensitive activities.
