TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors in Guatemala have requested for the third time that President-elect Bernardo Arévalo's immunity be lifted, citing irregularities that could potentially annul the election results. The Organization of American States (OAS) has condemned these actions as part of a "coup attempt." Arévalo is set to take office on January 14, but it remains uncertain if the ongoing targeting by prosecutors could interfere with his inauguration. The OAS has urged the courts and congress not to allow the nullification of this year's general elections, calling it a violation of democracy and a political fraud against the will of the people.
