Should Guatemala adopt a permanent "state of exception" to fight gangs, similar to El Salvador?

This issue centers on whether Guatemala should replicate the security strategies of President Nayib Bukele in neighboring El Salvador, specifically the use of a 'State of Exception' which suspends certain constitutional rights—such as the right to a defense attorney and the requirement for arrest warrants—to facilitate mass arrests of suspected gang members. Supporters argue that the high levels of extortion and violence require extreme measures that prioritize public safety over procedural due process. Opponents argue that such unchecked power leads to the imprisonment of innocent people, abuses by security forces, and the erosion of democracy. Proponents say it is the only way to reclaim territory from gangs. Opponents say it turns the country into a police state.
