During a Reuters interview at the National Palace of Culture in Guatemala City, President Bernardo Arevalo of Guatemala makes gestures.
Despite Bernardo Arevalo winning this year’s election and taking office following post-election turmoil, Volker Turk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated on Friday that democracy in Guatemala ‘remains in danger.’
Due to efforts by the Prosecutor’s Office to void the election’s results and keep Arevalo from taking the oath of office as president, Guatemala had one of the most turbulent election processes in the country’s recent history in 2023.
‘I talked with a human rights advocate who informed me that democracy is still vulnerable. ‘We need to take all necessary steps to alter the current situation,
and I wholeheartedly concur with this evaluation,’ Turk declared during a press conference held in Guatemala City to wrap up his tour.
This week, Turk met with advocates of civil rights, Arevalo, Supporting the nation’s attempts to fortify its democratic system is a ‘priority’ for him, according to merchants and leaders of the indigenous people.
‘The three powers must cooperate for a state to be able to operate. Additionally, it won’t occur at this time. He continued,
‘There is a great deal of polarization among the institutional entities in our country due to the intense conflicts between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
Arevalo has been in Congress since January, but he has only won 23 of the 160 seats available to him.
As a result, he has lost multiple battles and failed to pass various bills, including ones that would have increased the national budget and authorized rain emergencies.

‘I hope there won’t be a split,’ Pope Francis said to the Vatican press corps, ‘but I’m not scared.’ Since then, a central concern of Francis‘ pontificate has been the possibility of a formal break-up of Catholics who hold dissident views from the church or the emergence of a rival religion.
Catholics who identify as both progressive and conservative have openly questioned the legitimacy of the Pope and the Vatican, making overt or covert allusions to an irreversible rift within the church.
Both conservative and progressive Catholics have openly questioned the legitimacy of the Pope and the Vatican, raising red flags or dropping hints that the church may be irreversibly split.
In recent times, the Pope has taken action against his conservative opponents. He excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former US papal nuncio, for the crime of schism, removed Cardinal Raymond Burke,
the unofficial head of the conservative right, from his position at the Vatican, and removed Bishop Joseph Strickland from his Tyler, Texas, seat due to his anti-Francis agitation, primarily on social media.
The Pope has gone too far in accommodating the church with contemporary social tendencies, according to these and other conservatives, by welcoming women who aspire to positions of leadership.
Roles, the LGBTQ+ faithful, limiting the recitation of the Old Latin Mass, and allowing Beijing’s influence on China’s churches.
On the other hand, liberal Catholics argue that Francis hasn’t gone far enough in fostering responsibility and inclusivity inside the church. They want him to do more to address the problem of clergy sexual abuse as well as let women to be deacons and bless same-sex couples.
These problems are the driving force behind the German church’s Synodal Path, an extensive movement that aims to counter the public’s secularization with progressive, mainly unapproved reforms.
Since the Great Schism of 1054, which split Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism until the Protestant Reformation split the Western church in the sixteenth century, schism has existed in the church. sixteenth century. The traditionalist Society of St.
Pius X was the most recent group to split, having been established in 1970 by the French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was excommunicated for consecrating his own bishops and rejecting the decisions made by the Second Vatican Council.
The one that is believed to have provoked a split most similar to this is Viganò. Viganò released a scathing letter in 2019 that called for the resignation of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and accused the Pope of covering up the abuse of minors.
This came as Francis was addressing the catastrophic fallout from the clerical abuse epidemic in Ireland. Since then, he has approached conspiratorial and radical ideologies, labeling Francis as ‘a heretic’ and a ‘tyrant’ and criticizing the Second Vatican Council’s reforms side chapels.
November 16, 2015, at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ annual fall meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Apostolic Nuncio to the US, listens to statements. The Vatican has declared Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, its former envoy to the United States, to be a schismatic. This is an inevitable end for the fervent conservative who turned into one of Pope Francis’ most vocal opponents. IMAGE: File photo / Patrick Semansky/AP photo.
Almost an hour’s drive from Rome, Viganò established himself at the hermitage of St. Antonio alla Palanzana, where he attracted a group of disgruntled Catholics, including reactionary priests, wealthy Italian aristocrats, and nuns who had been expelled.
He founded Exsurge Domine with the intention of providing aid and funding to clergy members who allege they have been persecuted for their orthodox beliefs.
However, analysts note that Francis has deftly addressed detractors on both sides by acting only when necessary and providing documentation that explains some of his most contentious statements.
The philosopher Massimo Borghesi, who authored Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis in 2022, can no longer be regarded as a spokesperson for the conservative opposition to the pope.
Borghesi said to Religion News Service on Monday, ‘I don’t think that Viganò’s excommunication implies a schism.’
He acknowledged that there may still be a small percentage of traditionalists who feel that the church in Rome has abandoned the church’s traditions after the Second Vatican Council, but he noted that his support base in the United States has grown to the greatest extent.
Borghese stated, ‘I don’t think this interests the majority of the American church.’
A three-quarters majority of US Catholics hold a positive opinion of the Pope, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in April 2022.
Almost nine out of ten Catholic Democrats favor Francis, despite the fact that the political polarization of the nation influences their opinions. Conservative Catholics acknowledge that the Pope’s election was lawful, even if they disagree with his policies, according to Borghesi, in contrast to 63% of Republican faithful.
‘The schism’s prerequisites aren’t met. They’re just waiting for the next pope,’ he remarked.
Francis could have caused a more profound rift, according to Borghesi, if he had pursued the archbishop in 2019 or 2020. Rather, he gave room for conflicts to subside and for the majority of his changes to become part of the fabric of church life.
Meanwhile, following the Vatican’s ruling in early July, Viganó’s increasingly extreme views have caused him to lose the allegiance of his most ardent American supporters.
‘Within the church, these procedures have allowed for greater clarity and have cooled spirits,’ he stated.
In a similar vein, Vatican According to chroniclers, the German church’s Synodal Path has backed off from its most extreme stances, and Francis has weathered the most serious danger from the left.
Due to the Synodal Path’s dangerous schism-prone denial of official Catholic doctrine, German theologian Katharina Westerhorstmann stated in 2022 that she was leaving the synodal commission on relationships and sexuality.
Westerhorstmann stated, ‘I think there were some conversations that went too far, particularly the idea that they appeared to have already decided where this was going and that those opinions whatever didn’t fall into that category shouldn’t be taken into consideration.
Along with some theologians, she felt that although changes were required to guarantee the protection of children and vulnerable individuals inside the church, some theological elements should continue to be the same.
While a schism was undoubtedly possible between 2020 and 2021, according to Westerhorstmann, RNS was informed that, despite a resurgence last year when German priests started baptizing same-sex couples against Rome’s prohibition, that is no longer the case.
The talks with the Vatican appear to be moving forward at this time. ‘At this point, it appears that the talks with the Vatican are proceeding smoothly; perhaps there is greater transparency on both ends,” the spokesperson stated. ‘In fact, I believe that there is absolutely no longer any danger of a schism in the German church.’
Now, both extremes await the next conclave and the new pope, at which point the fate of the Catholic Church will be determined once more.
According to Viztadaily News some observers, indifference rather than fervent disagreement poses the biggest threat to the church in the modern era.
The Right Hand of the Lord Is Exalted: A History of Catholic Traditionalism from Vatican II to Traditionis Custodes author Aurelio Porfiri cautioned that although a full-blown schism is unlikely, a different form of split is already under process.
In certain Catholic communities, however, Simply put, conservatives are leaving the church, according to Porfiri.
‘I see this as a schism of indifference, where some Catholics are quitting the church not because they disagree with a specific doctrine or issue but rather because they are disengaged.’

According to Minister of Information Mohammed Idris, the leadership of Organized says that the Federal Government, FG and Labor have decided on ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for workers in Nigeria.
The minister stated that the agreement was made during a meeting that took place on Thursday in Abuja between President Bola Tinubu and the leaders of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
It gives us great pleasure to declare that the Federal Government and Organized Labor have decided to raise the N62,000 minimum salary.
Mr. President is set to present the National Assembly with a new national minimum of ₦70,000, an ecstatic Idris informed State House media.
The minister was flanked by Nkiruka Onyejeocha, the minister of labor, Festus Osifo, the head of the TUC, and senior officials from both parties.
‘Wage Review to Occur Every Three Years’ Regarding the minimum wage, Ajaero affirmed that they were at ₦70,000.
He added that one topic of discussion was that the minimum wage will no longer be reassessed every five years.
It was agreed upon, he said, that the minimum wage would now be reassessed every three years.
Ajaero declared that the Organized Labor would confer with their subscribers on the ₦70,000 mark.
‘A week ago, we were here. And at this moment, we’re here. We are currently at the point where they have announced receiving ₦70,000. However, we will not delay for a further five years to reach a consensus,’ Ajaero stated.
Regarding her own part, Onyejeocha stated that Tinubu had also instructed the Ministers of Finance and Budget, Wale Edun and Atiku Bagudu,
to determine procedures for resolving the disputes with the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU).

recent weeks following months of fruitless negotiations between labor organizations and a tripartite committee on minimum wage, which the president established in January.
Labor insisted on ₦250,000 as the new minimum wage for workers who currently earn ₦30,000, but the committee, which included state and federal governments as well as the Organized Private Sector, had offered ₦62,000.
Following the President’s elimination of the gasoline subsidy, Labour had stated that ₦30,000 was unaffordable for any worker given the economic whims of inflation and rising living expenses.
The President urged reasonable expectations for the minimum wage at his meeting with labor leaders on Thursday. ‘You must cut your coat to fit the cloth that is available.
Prior to the minimum wage procedure being finalized, Tinubu had stated, ‘We need to examine the structure.’
The President said on June 12, 2024, during his Democracy Day speech that the National Assembly will soon be presented with an executive measure pertaining to a new national minimum wage for workers for passage.
The “agreed” amount of ₦70,000 will be shared with the National Assembly in the upcoming days, the Minister of Information confirmed on Thursday.
Let us first commend Labour for their tenacity. Given the state of the population, we hope that it will be an ongoing process.
We’re hoping they’ll reach a point where the inflationary trend is nearly offset by the minimum wage.
We think that the government should try its hardest to lower inflation in this regard. We believe that the government isn’t doing enough to reduce spending.
FG and Labor Reach a ₦70K Minimum Wage
My perspective has always been that way. Therefore, that issue might continue. We applaud them if they have come to an agreement on wage as it is a numerical value.
However, the amount won’t be sufficient for people to survive on until inflation falls to a manageable level. It won’t yield a livable income, he said.
The LP Presidential campaign spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, voiced caution,
stating that the goal of offering a better income will be undermined if the government does not act swiftly to alleviate the nation’s economic difficulties.
It’s not about a pay raise, he declared. It concerns bringing down the expense of living standards. At one point in time, we were receiving a salary of N15,000.
However, keep in mind that a bag of rice could be purchased for nearly N1,500 at that time. You may provide N5,000 to N7,000, or even less, for your family’s food with N15,000.
‘As it is, a bag of rice cannot be purchased with the new minimum pay of N70,000. And what about the vaccinations you need to give your kids in case they get sick?
And how much do school fees and transportation cost? What about education and all that other stuff? All you are doing is incentivizing government employees to steal more.
