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.
On June 15, 2026, Be Just hosted the forum "A New Opening for Democracy in Guatemala" in Washington, D.C., bringing together representatives from civil society, academia, and international organizations to discuss recent appointments within Guatemala’s justice system and the challenges of strengthening the rule of law. The event fostered dialogue on the opportunities and risks facing Guatemalan democracy at a pivotal moment for the country's institutional future.
At this gathering, members of indigenous communities, independent journalists, and civil society organizations—united by the experience of having closely observed the selection processes for judges of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the Constitutional Court, and the attorney general—shared what we experienced, what we learned, and what lies ahead.
Este encuentro impulsó el intercambio de ideas y buenas prácticas para fortalecer las instituciones y apoyar los próximos procesos de elección de autoridades clave en el sistema de justicia.
In this workshop, we analyzed the selection process of the Attorney General, its challenges, and its impact on the rule of law in Guatemala.
