Guatemala: #NoNosPela (Español)
(This episode is in Spanish!) En este episodio, los tres invitados incluyen a Andrea Ixchíu (K'iche'), Floridalma Boj Lopez (K'iche') y Alejandro Flores. Los invitados conversan sobre las recientes manifestaciones y levantamientos en Guatemala, que fueron provocados por la reciente aprobación de un presupuesto que reduce el financiamiento para programas de derechos humanos y salud, pero que tienen raíces históricas. Los temas explorados incluyen por qué la gente está manifestando, la represión del gobierno, los impactos de la pandemia y dos huracanes que han devastado Guatemala, y cómo será el futuro de Guatemala. Los manifestantes han utilizado el hashtag #NoNosPela en las redes sociales para denunciar al gobierno guatemalteco.
