Presently in power. As college educated professionals, they are members of Guatemala's small middle class. Their goal is to maintain control of the government by remaining in power.Their hold on power is fragile. The Army and Wealthy really hold the true power and can take over at any time.
Their main objective is to continue civilian rule in Guatemala. They want to win in the upcoming election. They are losing some of the support of the urban poor and peasants. They voted for them in the last election believing their promise of a better future. They want the guerrillas to lay down their arms and vote in the election. They want the A/W to be more open to reforms, and treat the poor with more respect and dignity. They believe that some changes on behalf of the poor are just and inevitable. Modest reform might ease the pressure for revolutionary change.
