Students mock Trump, local politicians in Guatemala parade
By AFP 8 hours ago
Thousands of university students paraded through the capital of Guatemala on Friday in a traditional march to criticize and mock political issues, including this year US President Donald Trump.
"Trump: a racist and fascist gringo," read one of the placards held up, depicting the US leader dressed as the devil.
The annual parade, held by students of San Carlos University, is a 119-year-old tradition meant to satirically foreshadow more conventional marches held a week later, during the pre-Easter Semana Santa holiday period.
In recent years, it has focused on corruption and pervasive violence in Guatemala, and on President Jimmy Morales's government.
