Guatemalans are currently burning down their Congress after a series of crises hit their boiling point.
The protests were sparked after a budget bill passed on Tuesday, but that was only the final straw that the broke the camel’s back after years of anger towards their government.
Protesters brought over a guillotine before setting Congress ablaze.

Replying to @Sandra_CuffeIt is a VEEEEERY different vibe down here outside congress, where a march led by university students has stopped. CONGRESS IS NOW LITERALLY ON FIRE...

Central American journalist Sandra Cuffe explained on Twitter that “Tuesday night, while Iota rains were flooding areas already devastated by Eta, Guatemala’s congress rammed through a budget bill, giving themselves extra millions for meals, cutting $25M for combatting malnutrition (they put it back after an outcry).”

Replying to @Sandra_CuffeProtests usually don't get going until an hour or more after the advertised start time, but it's not even 2pm yet and #Guatemala City's central plaza is already really filling up and many people are still on their way. "The state is a mafia," reads a banner by the sound stage.

“Today is not really about the budget bill. The budget bill was a match thrown onto a pool of fuel that has been gathering for years. There’s widespread rage directed at the current congress and president but also at political and business elites that transcend administrations,” she explained. “That said, certain aspects of the budget bill did trigger protests: the temporary axing of $25M re malnutrition, reducing the human rights ombudsman’s office budget by $2.5M, cutting the judiciary’s budget almost in half… and the bill’s passage at breakneck speed overnight.”
After some significant damage to the building, police moved in with tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Replying to @Sandra_CuffePolice moved in with tear gas and people advanced and scattered away from #Guatemala's congress, which is what you see ablaze. Firefighters are on scene and Red Cross personnel are nearby. I wasn't kidding when I said it's no longer discontent here. It's rage.

This didn't send a while ago for some reason, but after riot police moved in to clear the area outside congress, the scene in #Guatemala City's center became various groups of hundreds of protesters, some facing off against riot police with tear gas. Some scatter and regroup.

Good.
Do not come here!
Now is the time to send 700,000 of THEIR invading illegal aliens back to go fight their own Civil War.
Needs to happen.
Go the hell home and join the fight.
Evict them from our schools, our housing, and cut off the free stuff! It is not free.
Every damn one of them backed up in Mexico should get on semi-trucks and head home!
Get it over with and take back your country.
Take your TPS and mouthy DACA with you
Let their DACA take over and run the country.
Not one more dime of aid or oatmeal.
We have our own whose homes are flooded and burned down from fires.ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
