二 |     GUATEMALA CITY -- One of the leaders of the nationwide protests against efforts to undermine Guatemala’s elections that have paralyzed much of the country’s commerce for nearly two weeks is a young one-time law student who now heads up one of the country’s most important Indigenous organizations.While Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei tries to draw President-elect Bernardo Arévalo into a dialogue aimed at ending the protests, Luis Pacheco says that it isn’t Arévalo’s call to make and that Giammattei could end them by meeting their demands.Guatemala has been roiled throughout much of this year’s election cycle and even a resounding victory by Arévalo in August did not calm it. The academic and former diplomat ran on a platform of battling corruption that observers say has unnerved Guatemala’s entrenched power structure.This month's protests have been the largest public display rejecting the administration's questioning of the election. Protesters have peacefully blocked key roadways at more than 100 points across the country. Giammattei this week made clear his intention to clear them by force if necessary.The protesters have made Attorney General Consuelo Porras the target of their ire. Since Arévalo was the surprise second-place finisher in an initial round of voting in June, her office has pursued investigations related to how Arévalo's Seed Movement party collected signatures required to register years earlier and multiple investigations related to the election itself.For Pacheco and the 48 Indigenous communities he represents northwest of Guatemala’s capital, the solution is simple: Porras, one of her prosecutors and a judge who suspended Arévalo’s party have to go.“We’re not asking for something that can’t be done, we are not asking for constitutional reforms, which would be more complicated,” Pacheco said late Tuesday. He stood a block from one of the roadblocks in Guatemala City, holding the wooden staff that signals his position and his customary wide-brimmed hat and shoulder bag. His manner of speaking was measured and calm.Pacheco said the galvanizing moment for the K’iche’ people he represents was a raid on electoral offices broadcast live in which federal agents opened and took away — despite resistance from some electoral officials — boxes containing precinct vote tally sheets. “The people already voted and you have to respect the decision taken,” he said.“We know that they don’t want to lose the power they have,” Pacheco said.The protests have been largely peaceful. Demonstrators allow ambulances to pass, as well as trucks carrying basic food stuffs and gasoline. “We don’t want to kill ourselves as people,” he said. “What we want to show is that we want to defend and take back democracy.”Pacheco cited Atanasio Tzul, an Indigenous leader who led an uprising in 1820 demanding rights, as an influence.Álvaro Pop, former chairman of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, said that what is happening now in Guatemala is the end of a cycle in which the government has tried to eliminate or transform the protest.In 2015, thousands of Guatemalans took to the streets, eventually forcing then-President Otto Pérez Molina to resign over corruption allegations. In 2020, Giammattei violently put down protests against his administration.Guatemalans are much more conscious than in previous years of the pervasive corruption in their government, Pop said, in large part because of the years of work by a U.N.-backed anticorruption mission.“The Indigenous peoples (call for the protests) because they are the ones with the moral standing to do so and that is why there is a response and support, but there is the risk that the protests are undermined by racism,” Pop said.Pacheco, mayor of the town of Juchanep, will only hold the rotating post of president of the 48 cantons for a year, but is aware that his role in the protests could lead to persecution.Recently, a far-right activist closely aligned with Porras filed a complaint against Pacheco alleging damage committed by protesters. Often this is a prelude to criminal charges.“We’re not here on behalf of a political party, we’re not defending Arévalo so he can assume the presidency, no one else decided this,” Pacheco said. “Not even if Arévalo told us to stop the protests, we’re not going to do it. The negotiation is between the Indigenous peoples and the government.”。

韩联社说,这是金建希自去年12月陪同尹锡悦结束对荷兰的国事访问回国后,时隔153天公开露面。金建希收受名牌包事件曝光后,其间一直未露面参加公开活动。

四 | 韩国总统室也没有发布金建希出席闭门活动的相关照片和视频。

不过值得一提的是,韩国《京乡新闻》4月9日曾爆出,金建希当月5日已在首尔龙山区一处投票站参加第22届国会议员选举“事前投票”,但当时并未有韩国媒体公布她投票行程的现场图片。
“金建希去哪儿了?”在英国凯特王妃的行踪引发全球关注之际,《韩国先驱报》3月19日发出上述疑问。韩媒发现,截至目前,这位曾屡屡引发关注和争议的韩国“第一夫人”已经离开公众视线超过3个月,而且这一情况似乎没有结束的迹象。

五 | 韩国国会议员选举在即,有韩媒分析称,金建希的“消失”可能是为了帮助尹锡悦和执政的国民力量党赢得选举。

金建希于2022年9月13日收受旅美韩侨牧师崔在英(音)贿赂的一款价值约300万韩元(约合人民币1.6万元)的迪奥包。相关视频是通过崔在英佩戴的手表内置摄像机偷拍的,被曝光后引发巨大风波。在野党要求尹锡悦对此作出解释,但尹锡悦和金建希开始都对此事保持沉默。直到事件被爆出两个多月后,尹锡悦才首度发声,坚称这是一场精心策划的“政治阴谋”。他还表示,妻子不够“冷酷无情”,才没能拒绝对方送礼。
另据韩国《朝鲜日报》5月4日报道称,该报记者获悉,韩国检察总长李元锡已向负责调查韩国“第一夫人”金建希收受名牌包事件的首尔中央地方检察厅下达指示,要求组建专门调查组展开调查。
