CENTRAL AMERICA IN MINUTES, Ep. 27: Even if Jose Rubén Zamora, who is 68 years old, successfully defends himself at retrial in the original case against him, he looks set to face years of legal challenges as the hydra of spurious accusations against Guatemala’s former top publisher continues to grow.
On April 21, the Bernardo Arévalo administration said they are finishing chalking up a journalist-protection policy for the Executive Branch. Press advocates warn that any safeguards can only have a limited effect without an end to persecution and change of leadership at the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The attorney general selection process is set to end in May 2026.
This special May episode of Central America in Minutes was written and narrated by Roman Gressier with audio production and original soundtrack by Omnionn. El Faro English translates Central America. Listen to Central America in Minutes every Friday on major podcast platforms.
