Follow-up: Rigoberta Menchu to run for president

According to China’s People’s Daily Online, Guatemalan indigenous leader and 1992 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Rigoberta Menchu told local media that she will run for president. Menchu will speak with leaders from the Encounter for Guatemala Party tomorrow though she is willing to consider proposals from any political party (as we mentioned last week).
