On behalf of the United States, we again congratulate Bernardo Arévalo on his election as the next president of Guatemala, as confirmed by the vote results certified on August 28. We salute the people of Guatemala for making their voices heard, and we applaud the many officials and volunteers whose dedication made these elections possible. The United States remains concerned with continued actions by those who seek to undermine Guatemala's democracy. Such anti-democratic behavior, including efforts by the Public Ministry and other actors to suspend the President-elect's political party and intimidate election authorities, undercuts the clear will of the Guatemalan people and is inconsistent with the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.

A cap on the number of dwellings at the Hills Showground Precinct has been scrapped by the Minns government before a promised site for a new school has been identified. Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Peter Gangemi said the decision showed absolute disdain for the people of The Hills Shire, which is already buckling under the pressure of an infrastructure shortfall. "In our conversations with the NSW Government, we were told that the number of homes in the Hills Showground would be restricted to 5,000 until a new school site had been identified and funded," Mayor Gangemi said.
