Confirms
Elections
Runoff
Date
Guatemala
-
Guatemalan
President
Alvaro
Colom
confirmed
that
the
presidential
elections
runoff
will
be
held
on

decreed

the
heavy
rains.
In
statements
to
Telesur,
Colom
said
that
they
are
working
to
guarantee
the

stations
and
there
is
no
reason
to
postpone
the
voting.
The
president
added
that
the
state
of
emergency
due
to
the
rains
and
the
need
for
funds
to
assist
the
rainfall
victims
and
counter
the
damage
do
not
affect
the
electoral
process.
Colom
acknowledged
that
the
opposition
has
been
blocking
the

2010,
and
there
are
serious
problems
to
finance
the
basic,
security,
and
justice
services,
and
now
the
emergency.
