Elena Gaytán, communications director for The Family Matters Association (AFI) in Guatemala, expressed her concern about the position of president-elect Bernardo Arévalo and his political entourage regarding issues such as abortion and gender ideology.
“Unfortunately we do not see a very favorable outlook regarding these issues. We hope that there is no ideological imposition on the part of the new officials, but that they abide by the constitutional order, the legislation, and the current treaties,” she commented in a recent interview with “EWTN Noticias.”
On Aug. 20, Bernardo Arévalo, a leftist politician and leader of the Semilla (Seed) Movement, won the presidential elections for the 2024–2027 term with 58% of the vote, beating his challenger Sandra Torres by more than a 20-point advantage.
According to Gaytán, Arévalo’s party and part of his team are favorable toward gender ideology, “since they have taken advantage of opportunities to celebrate, for example, ‘diversity’ or gay marriage.”
