Former president Alejandro Giamattei, who stood out as the great absentee at the presidential inauguration, also did not comment on the questioning by customs authorities with his son in the United States in the city of Miami.
He was expected to attend the change of command ceremony on Sunday, January 14. However, after the delay in the Congress, he published on his social networks that he chose to hand over the symbols of the presidency to the Congress, given the risk of arriving at midnight without starting the ceremonial acts.
In parallel, Senator Mike Lee indicated that Giammattei’s son, Alejandro Giammattei Caceres, 34, was questioned by the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Miami, USA.
why is @CBP Holding Alejandro Giammattei for questioning at the airport in Miami? Could he have something to do with this administration’s chronic disdain for his father, the conservative former president of Guatemala who ends his term in office today?

After trying to defend Giammatti on social networks, Senator Lee confirmed the information La Hora had received.
Senator Lee also reported that the former president’s son was deported this Monday. According to Lee, Joe Biden’s government will punish the former president by invalidating his son’s visa.
