瓜地馬拉總統閃電更換軍方高層

今天在PRENSALIBRE上看到了瓜地馬拉總統撤換軍方高層的新聞
包括國防部部長副部長
參謀總長副參謀總長等都在一夕更換
據報導
接任者是在當地時間12月21日下午兩點多時接獲總統電話通知接任
並隨即在下午五點佈達
這樣的情形實在令人唏噓
據了解
現在這位總統曾是游擊隊領袖
曾在1996年前與瓜國政府軍有打過仗
上任後就要軍方高層交出機密文件未果
所以才一次更換全部的國防高層
另外補充
瓜地馬拉的軍人沒有投票權
這是自1996年中美洲和平協議簽訂以來後
軍方一直不被政客重視的原因之ㄧ
我曾經跟我在瓜地馬拉的同學說過
軍人也是人民
沒有投票權遲早會吃虧
果然
希望我的同學一切都好
也希望這樣的變動不要影響到我們的邦交
這個新聞在其他國家都沒有報導(目前只有委內瑞拉有)

以下是新聞

Guatemala's Colom Fires Defense Chief, Military Brass
Guatemala's first left-leaning president in 53 years.

GUATEMALA CITY -- President Alvaro Colom fired his defense minister and Guatemala's entire military high command in a move he described as "necessary" for his government.

The changes are meant to "harmonize, strengthen and develop" the relationship between his adminstration and the armed forces, Colom told a hastily arranged press conference at the president palace.

The president began by announcing that Gen. Abraham Valenzuela Gonzalez would succeed Gen. Marco Tulio Garcia Franco as defense minister.

He named Vice Adm. Roberto Campos as Valenzuela's deputy and Gen. Juan Jose Ruiz as chief of the general defense staff.

Colom stressed that the overhaul was not the result of any kind of insubordination on the part of the dismissed officers. The armed forces, he said, "are an apolitical, obedient and non-deliberating institution, maintaining their complete subordination to the civilian power."

The president said the military will continue its modernization process and remains committed to fully complying with the terms of the 1996 peace accords that ended more than three decades of civil war in Guatemala, a conflict that cost some 200,000 lives.

This is the first major defense shake-up since Colom, a social democrat, took office in January.

Colom was obliged several months ago to fire the chief of presidential security after that official was implicated in the planting of bugs and video camaras in the president's office and residence.
