Gendri Reyes seeks to recover his visa and U.S. backing, while American sources dispute his claims

Former Interior Minister Gendri Reyes is returning to Guatemala’s political arena as the country moves toward the 2027 electoral process. He is reportedly testing the ground for a possible candidacy for elected office.

Before pursuing that path, however, Reyes wants to recover the visa revoked by the U.S. government. His effort comes as he seeks to regain American backing.

Sources in the United States have contradicted Reyes’s assertions, adding uncertainty to his attempt to re-enter electoral politics.
