The Seed Movement has obtained 61% of Guatemala’s presidential votes, but the Guatemalan Citizen Register has outlawed the party elected by the false signatures collected between 2017 and 2018. “From now on, nothing can prevent the law from taking over January 14, 2024. It’s a historic time,” he said, and they will resort.

The Seed Movement presents a remedy of amparo to end the “political persecution” led by Judge Orellana and Prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche. Prosecutor Curruchiche, in response to Judge Orellana's request, requested on 12 July the legalization of the Seed Movement for alleged false signatures.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States has pointed out that the disqualification of the party “has no foundation or proven reason” and “is a disproportionate interpretation of the law”. He has also claimed that “democratic principles and the will of citizens must be respected”.
