Eduardo Giammattei

Eduardo Giammattei is a Guatemalan politician and physician who has served as the President of Guatemala since January 14, 2020. His presidency has been marked by controversy, particularly related to his administration's handling of corruption, human rights issues, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Giammattei's government has faced criticism for its alleged complicity in the suppression of press freedom and the targeting of journalists, notably in the case of José Rubén Zamora, a prominent investigative journalist who has been imprisoned under dubious charges. Giammattei's leadership reflects the ongoing struggles within Guatemala regarding democracy, governance, and the rule of law.
