The president who abandons the official residence and prefers to drive 76 kilometers every day to continue living in his village

The public purchase of a prominent penthouse by Planifica, a state-owned enterprise in the Community of Madrid, has reignited a debate regarding official state residences for high-ranking government officials, including regional presidents and ministers. This discussion centers on a leader who declines to use the official residence, opting instead to commute 76 kilometers daily by car to continue living in their home village.

Simultaneously, in Guatemala, the mayor of San Miguel Petapa, Mynor Morales, filed an amparo appeal with the Constitutional Court against multiple government officials, including President Bernardo Arévalo. The legal action demands that the government provide compensation for damages caused by flooding from the Pinula River.
