What's happening in Guatemala?
I've read two articles now, I'm still pretty confused. Concerning because I was going to attend a school for a bit there. I see there's a potential coup and some right wing crazies getting riled up. And that the us is against it... But that's about it.
Can someone help me out here?

-Everyone's expecting another corrupt pro statu quo government.
-Corrupt government takes most parties with an anti-corruption or anti statu quo narrative out of the race
-smalll Social Democratic party that used to have only 5 congress people ends up in second place for the presidency and becoming the 3rd largest force in congress
-they do that under an anti corruption campaign
-Corrupt government in shock
-Corrupt government tries to take party out of the election so they can't participate in the runoff for the presidency
-They can't
-small Soc-Dem party clutches it out
-Presidency plus 24 seats in congress
-Devastating for the corrupt government
-Corrupt government go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-They try to invalidate the elections
-Mass protests and road blocks for 14 days
-Can't invalidate elections
-Pressident elect has talks with private sector and indigenous coallition to stop roadblocks and protests
-Stopped
-They take members of the soc-dem party into costudy
