Guatemalans Reject Massive Campaign Spending

Guatemalan social organizations are denouncing the massive campaign spending underway for candidates in the country's upcoming elections. Such lavish spending occurs amid a major political crisis triggered by revelations of high level corruption involving the recently resigned vice president in which companies paid bribes to avoid customs duties. The leading party has spent US$3 million in campaign spending, prompting many to demand reforms limiting such expenditures. teleSUR
