Guatemala Becomes Ungovernable
If the killing of three Salvadorian deputies showed fissures in the Guatemalan legal system, the execution of police tied to the crime corroborates the government s incompetence to control national security.

"We are very worried because this confirms a crisis in the entire security apparatus, with severe consequences," Human Rights attorney Sergio Morales said.

Guatemala has been the center of world attention since the Salvadorian deputies killing last week, but concern increased when it was revealed that four organized crime police were the alleged authors of the crime.

Amid the negative impact of the incident on the reliability of the security corps, the agents were murdered at a maximum security prison this week.

Local analysts consider Guatemala is dangerously becoming "a failed country, where institutions do not operate."

As repercussions of the scandal continue within the country and abroad, calls for the resignation of Government Minister Carlos Vielmann and National Civil Police Chief Erwin Sperisen have increased.

Both will be summoned by Congress to explain the execution of the agents, considered key elements in the deputies murder.

In a panorama marked by impunity, authorities lack of control, and indifference of the State powers, all indications point to a flourishing ungovernability.
