In 2015，ahead of the election，Guatemalan President Pérez Molina was involved in the La Linea corruption case with other high-ranking officials. Consequently，President Pérez was stripped of his immunity by the Guatemalan Parliament. He was arrested right after his resignation. The majority of voters supported the “outsider” Jimmy Morales，who won the run-off election as the FCN’s presidential candidate. His success was viewed as a sign of the distrust of many Guatemalan towards traditional political elites. Since the Renewed Democratic Liberty became the largest party in the Congress，Guatemala is facing more radical political fragmentation. Although the tendency of economic recovery is quite stable，the GDP growth rate declined to 3.9%，which was mainly influenced by the overall situation in Central America. Since at the end of President Pérez’s term，62.4% of the population lived in moderate poverty，the condition of social inequality has not improved. In 2015，Guatemala’s longstanding territorial dispute against Belize stagnated，while the Guatemalan government succeeded in promoting cooperation with Mexico on regional energy integration and cross-border governance issues.
