You and other members of the political and economic elite have forced Claudia Paz y Paz from the attorney general position, sanctioned Yasmin Barrios, and weakened the rule of law with the shenanigans surrounding the overturn of the Rios Montt conviction.
You put our ambassador on a hit list during the trial or, at best, did nothing to challenge those who did.
You are pursuing drug reforms which we are against.
You've failed to improve workers rights and have forced the USTR to take you to task under CAFTA-DR.
We're not perfect but how again have you been a good partner that we should go out of our way to help?
Yes, we know you are not Honduras but that's not good enough.
