It is interesting that citizens in Guatemala are willing to get out into the street in numbers large enough to make their Parliament do the right thing where corruption is concerned.
There are positive signs that we are headed in this direction.
Fingers crossed it will happen if the government continues to ignore the scandals in their midst.

AP News: "GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala's once-powerful vice president formally lost her post Saturday as the congress accepted her resignation, leaving office amid a customs corruption scandal that has implicated her former private secretary.
"In a letter released late Friday, Roxana Baldetti said the move means she is giving up her immunity from possible prosecution and promised "to collaborate with all investigations" into the graft scheme. She has denied any involvement in the alleged bribery.
"President Oscar Perez Molina called the decision "brave" and said it was a personal decision. Legislators voted 149-0 at a special session to accept her stepping down.
