Description
Mayan women and men smile and clap at a campaign rally for presidential candidate Ángel Aníbal Guevara. The women wear colorful huijiles, a fabric worn as a shirt. A young woman in the middle of the group wears several large necklaces around her neck. On March 8, 1982 Guevara won the presidential election although electoral fraud was claimed by other parties. A military coup prevented Guevara from assuming power and installed a three-man junta headed by General Efraín Ríos Montt. Mujeres y hombres mayas sonríen y aplauden en un mitin de campaña por el candidato presidencial Ángel Aníbal Guevara. Las mujeres visten huipiles coloridos, vestimenta utilizada como camisa. Una muchacha en el medio de la imagen lleva varios collares grandes alrededor de su cuello. El 8 de marzo de 1982, Guevara ganó las elecciones presidenciales aunque el fraude electoral fue denunciado por otros partidos. Un golpe de estado militar impidió que Guevara asumiera el poder e instaló una junta de tres hombres encabezada por el general Efraín Ríos Montt.
