Posted by admin | 8 years ago | 2,636 times



A former TV comedian has been sworn in as Guatemala's new President on the back of widespread public anger at government corruption. 

Jimmy Morales in his inaugural address promised more transparency in the country's political system but cautioned that it would take time for change to come.

"A new Guatemala is possible, and it's worth the struggle. Of course things could be better but I want you to bear in mind things don't change overnight...we're passing from the darkness of corruption to the dawn of transparency," Morales said.
