About this video

In this conference Fernando Monterroso unveils some of Guatemala's main problems and proposes interesting solutions to solve them, all of this in the midst of one of the country's worst security and social crises on its history.  He describes how the government, through its diverse institutions has been unable to provide basic services such as security, which plays an elemental role on social development.  According to the data presented, he demonstrates how corruption, insecurity, and robberies tend to be the major menaces for the entire population.  Monterroso explains all the costs this situation conveys, the image being sent abroad to other countires regarding our own, and how it affects every person, specially on economic matters. By pointing out all the basic problems our country suffers, he presents  several ideas intended to ammend all the difficulties being dealt with every day.
