President Arévalo Addresses Future of Guatemala's Torch Runs Amid Safety Concerns

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo has addressed concerns regarding the traditional torch runs during national independence celebrations, following a series of incidents and accidents. During a press conference, President Arévalo stated that while the government is evaluating the situation, a simple legal prohibition is not the comprehensive solution needed. "It's not about coming and prohibiting something. It's about changing the behavior of a population," Arévalo remarked, underscoring the complexity of the issue. He called for a broad social articulation, urging families, churches, social clubs, and community organizations to actively participate in fostering a shift in public conduct. The President reiterated that the goal is to build patriotic celebrations that are safe, inclusive, and free from vandalism. The discussion comes after several incidents, including a burning vehicle and public altercations, raised questions about the safety and management of these widespread celebrations.
