Sounds different coming from Guatemala

The Guatemalan Episcopal Conference on Friday elected as new president, Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini, defender of popular causes, foe of the FTAA with the US, and against irrational exploitation of natural resources.

As president he replaces Cardinal Rodolfo Quezada Toruno and will be the link with the Vatican as well as Church delegate to the government and Guatemalan society.
The bishop severely criticizes the Free Trade Treaty with the US and, in an interview with Prensa Latina, he said all the legal and tax advantages are given to the transnationals and the treaty will only further impoverish Guatemalans.

The new Episcopal Conference president is also a staunch defender of migrant rights, actively opposing the new US law criminalizing those without documents and the wall along its border.
"It´s outrageous that a country of immigrants, like the United States, that says it is a defender of liberties, could construct such a frontier wall," he told Prensa Latina.
