Guatemalan authorities raid presidential candidate's party offices amid election interference concerns

Police and agents raided presidential candidate Bernardo Arévalo's Semilla party offices over alleged issues with the party's formation.
Arévalo called the raid a "corrupt" act of "political persecution" by a minority trying to intimidate Semilla.
The raid came after allegations of state actors interfering in Guatemala's presidential election.
Certification of Semilla was delayed over an investigation into how it gathered signatures to register as a party.
The raid caused turmoil in the race between Arévalo and conservative Sandra Torres ahead of the August runoff election.
