Alejandro Maldonado Aguirre (born January 6, 1936) is a Guatemalan politician who is the Acting President of Guatemala, following the Congress of Guatemala's acceptance of the resignation of President Otto Pérez Molina on September 3, 2015.〔http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-34147891〕 He was elected as Vice President by Congress on May 14, 2015, after his predecessor, Roxana Baldetti, resigned amid allegations of corruption. Before becoming Vice President, he served as a constitutional judge, congressional deputy, ambassador to the United Nations, and political leader, including a failed presidential bid in 1982. He was Minister of Education from 1970 to 1974 and Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1995 to 1996. ==History== Born in Guatemala City, Maldonado graduated from San Carlos University with a degree in law.〔http://www.cc.gob.gt/congreso/Hojas%20de%20vida%20de%20participantes/Alejandro%20Maldonado%20Aguirre.pdf〕 Since the 1960s, he was a member of the far-right National Liberation Movement political party (''Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional'' or MLN), alleged to have started the use of death squads against communists. He was also Minister of Education under the military regime of Arana Osorio (1970–1974) and defended Guatemala before the United Nations when the international community isolated the military regime of Lucas García (1978–1982) for its gross human rights violations. Later, Maldonado served as a judge on the Constitutional Court judge on three occasions, where he was responsible for several controversial decisions. In May 2013 Maldonado was judge on the appeal case of former president Efraín Ríos Montt's conviction for genocide. Whereas in the first session Ríos Montt was found guilty, Maldonado and two others of the five-person Constitutional Court annulled the proceedings. One week after his appointment as Vice President in May 2015, protesters sought his resignation because he had overturned the guilty verdict in the Ríos Montt trial. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alejandro Maldonado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
