Ministerio de Gobernación

The Ministerio de Gobernación, or Ministry of the Interior, is a key governmental body in Guatemala responsible for maintaining internal security, public order, and overseeing law enforcement agencies. Recently, it has been in the news for its role in addressing the increasing number of roadblocks and protests throughout the country, particularly those demanding salary increases from health workers and other groups. The ministry has been urged to enforce laws against illegal demonstrations and restore free movement for citizens.
