New Minister Wanted in Guatemala
Guatemala´s President Oscar Berger and his cabinet seek on Tuesday a new Interior Minister, as part of a reshuffle and purge that ministry, which has been strongly questioned by the security crisis gripping the country.

One of the most mentioned candidates is Adela de Torrebiarte, member of the Advising Security Council, who claims to have a work plan and adequate team to implement the necessary transformations in that ministry.

De Torrebiarte led in the 90s a civil organization called "Madres Angustiadas" that demanded authorities to end kidnappings, above all in young people and adolescents.

According to Vice President Eduardo Stein, the executive has five aspirants to find a successor for Carlos Vielman, who ratified his resignation despite wide support received on Monday during a government´s cabinet meeting.

Some analysts consider that the next minister´s great difficulty will be to determine what the reliable structures in the security bodies are, after many have been infiltrated by organized crime and corruption.

Insecurity has been one of the largest problems for the Guatemalan population in the last few years, due to unemployment and the economic situation.
