Indigenous and campesino organizations met in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, where they declared their desire to create their own political party. This party would strive to advance the rights and long-neglected agenda of indigenous people, and allow them to participate in the country's 2015 general elections. The Maya-Quiche leadership states that the party's goal is to "move towards a plurinational state of free determination." teleSUR.
