The president of the Constitutional Court (CC) supported suspending the appointment of Menkos to the Bank of Guatemala (Banguat), but opposed issuing a warning to President Bernardo Arévalo regarding the matter. The decision centers on the legal and administrative handling of high-level government appointments within the country.
While the court's leadership fractured on the procedural warning directed at the executive branch, the core action regarding the suspension of Menkos's designation moved forward with the CC president's backing. This internal judicial divergence highlights the ongoing institutional tensions between Guatemala's highest court and the executive administration concerning key public appointments.
