Description
Popular Democratic Front presidential candidate Ángel Aníbal Guevara sits at the center of a press conference as journalists and photojournalists documents the events. A portrait of Guevara is hung on the wall behind him. Guevara was handpicked as a successor by President Fernando Romeo Lucas García but a military coup against Lucas García's government prevented Guevara from assuming power and installed a three-man junta headed by General Efraín Ríos Montt.
