LGBT Agenda Is Part of Effort to Undermine Guatemalan Democracy
In a May 17 US congressional hearing, Representative Scott Perry complained to USAID Administrator Samantha Power that her organization spent $1 million to train “LGBTQ+” candidates in Guatemala. Power’s attempt to sidestep the issue only confirmed USAID’s illegal intervention in our country.
Perry said the US reaction to Guatemala becoming the pro-life capital of the Americas was to invest $11 million with groups “to push for abortion activism.” Article 3 of our Constitution obligates the state to “protect human life from conception,” which makes USAID’s actions subversive.
Polls have shown for many years that nearly 90 percent of Guatemalans reject abortion, homosexual marriage, and gender fluidity. For us, only two genders exist. The United States, European Union, and United Nations have no right to impose their preferences on us. We demand they stop.
USAID money went to the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. Its website says the organization works to “ensure the success of LGTBQ+ elected and appointed officials at all levels of government.”
Besides claiming ignorance of the programs Perry mentioned, Power’s sidestep was saying “we do stand with marginalized communities.” That is one thing. Imposing a culture Guatemalans reject, as Perry accuses USAID of doing, is another thing altogether.
US State Department (DOS) criminality is even worse than that of USAID. Heritage Foundation authors reported last year that President Alejandro Giammattei told them US Ambassador William Popp was meeting with indigenous leaders to overthrow him: “They want to topple my government.”
Giammattei told them USAID was pushing “indigenism”—collectivist division based on identity, as opposed to the individualism contained in Guatemala’s Constitution.
Giammattei told the Heritage authors that Popp had warned him not to reappoint Consuelo Porras as prosecutor general. DOS had sanctioned Porras, alleging her prosecutions of former prosecutors and judges were retribution for their having fought corruption. Giammattei said the former officials were “the most corrupt in the country … We have the proof and evidence to support the trials.”
The best example is former prosecutor Juan Francisco Sandoval, upon whom DOS conferred an ad hoc Anti-Corruption Champion Award. After Porras fired Sandoval, Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded: “His dismissal undermines the rule of law.” Documentary evidence demonstrates Sandoval had obstructed a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigation into money laundering of a USAID grant, one of the reasons for his dismissal.
DOS protection of criminality towards DHS, another department of its own government, coincides with USAID’s cultural imperialism, its efforts to oppose transparency laws, and its illegal intervention in our country. DOS now appears to be intervening in our June 25 elections.
If Perry and his congressional colleagues are genuinely interested in protecting their country from its internal enemies, they should investigate the entire spectrum of DOS criminality in Guatemala.
