“We are proving that we (Geometry]are resigning and that he is telling us where the money for vaccines is,” Carla Perez, a 48-year-old protester, told AFP.

“Vaccines are not in the pockets,” the government seat announced, a banner erected by protesters in front of the National Palace.

Guatemala, home to 16 million people, has received about 658,200 doses of the vaccine since February.

“The government has shown a very low level of transparency in the use of money.
