I think the most hilarious thing to have happened in Guatemala in the past 24 hours is Sandra Torres breaking cover in order to describe the MP's case for annulment as 'contundente', almost at the very same moment that it was being digitally demolished by a group of online truthers (of the better sort).
If she had preserved her low profile, she might have waited in the wings in order to observe the next moves in this constitutional version of the masochism tango.
Yet now it seems to me she has thrown a bit of a spanner into the pacto, for her intervention has forced other parties to come out openly in favour of an uninterrupted transition, and prompted more scrutiny of the data presented on Friday, which is probably not what the MP really wanted in advance of any institutional pursuit of their allegations.
So in the end it's hard to tell if Sandra has further compromised the credibility of the MP, or they have hers.
