VIDEO: In Guatemala, protesters set fire to the country's parliament building

In Guatemala, protesters have set fire to the parliament building. The demonstration is directed against the president and his controversial record budget for 2021, which amounts to nearly $12.8 billion. This is about a quarter more than this year's budget. According to eadaily.com, most of the money is allocated to infrastructure controlled by private companies rather than combating widespread poverty in Guatemala.

According to United Nations data, 59% of the 17 million people living in Guatemala live in poverty, and nearly half of children under five are malnourished.
