So far, Colom has received the backing of the Organization of American States and several Latin American leaders. The embattled president has even got the support of a key U.S. diplomat:
A senior U.S. official visited Guatemala on Monday to show support for President Alvaro Colom, who has been facing public protest due to alleged involvement in a lawyer's murder, news reports said.Whether he is innocent or guilty, the “two Guatemalas” that have emerged from the Colom scandal may break the country beyond repair.
Colom restated his innocence of all charges at a meeting with U.S. Undersecretary of State for Latin America David Robinson, a Guatemala government spokesman told reporters Monday.
