Democracy in Guatemala has faced numerous challenges since the end of its civil war in 1996. The country operates as a representative democracy, where citizens elect a president and members of the Congress. However, issues such as corruption, political instability, and social inequality have hindered the democratic process. In recent years, public protests have emerged, demanding government accountability and transparency. The role of the Judicial System is crucial, as it influences the enforcement of laws and the protection of human rights. Despite these challenges, many Guatemalans remain committed to strengthening their democratic institutions and promoting civic engagement.
