Karla Gutiérrez Herrera

Karla Gutiérrez Herrera is a Guatemalan politician and member of the Unidad Nacional de la Esperanza (UNE) party. She was elected as a deputy to the Central American Parliament (Parlacén) in the 2023 elections and recently assumed the presidency of the Parlacén's new Board of Directors. Despite her election, Gutiérrez faces challenges from her own party, which claims her election is illegitimate due to her prior expulsion from UNE. She has argued against these claims, asserting that the courts in Guatemala lack the jurisdiction to challenge decisions made by international organizations like the Parlacén.
