Today (April 21, 2008), Guatemala has a new Attorney General appointed by President Colom. Attorney Baudilio Portillo Merlos takes over the position from Gordillo. Gordillo has filed an appeal to the Constitutional Court to keep the position. I guess we will see if that challenge holds any water!
Since this is connected to the operations of PGN, I will also mention that there have been some rumors that PGN "closed its doors" and everything has been left to the CNA. Today, several of our contacts went to PGN and are confirming that PGN is still working.
Our adoption agency says "possible shut down, expect delays".
All sorts of rumors in the adoptions world! Please, Barrios clean off your desk before you are ousted and/or the shut down!
