On Saturday, August 29, Be Just held the fifth "Café con Be Just" gathering, a training and dialogue space designed for young people approaching their first electoral experience, aimed at giving them tools to understand the 2027 electoral process and participate in a conscious and informed way. The event took place as part of Be Just's internship program.
Organized as a plural, non-partisan space, the session opened with an icebreaker on representation and conscious voting, followed by a panel moderated by Mariana Reyes alongside Enrique Búcaro and Miguel Colop. The panel covered the rules governing the electoral process, the calendar and stages of the 2027 elections, lessons from the 2023 electoral process, the role of legal remedies (amparos) and complaints, and the importance of staying informed amid social media disinformation. The event closed with a Q&A session and a central message: voting consciously does not mean sharing a single political stance, but rather understanding the rules of the game and recognizing that citizenship does not end with the vote.
Through initiatives like this one, Be Just reaffirms its commitment to training young leaders and promoting informed citizenship ahead of the 2027 electoral process. "Be Just - Coffee Talks" continues to establish itself as a platform for exchanging ideas and collectively building proposals aimed at strengthening the rule of law in Guatemala.
