Sweden's foreign minister says it is "very unfortunate" that the country's ambassador to Guatemala has been ordered to leave. (AP Photo/Moises Castillo, File)A Guatemalan government press release Thursday said Guatemala also wants Venezuelan diplomat Elena Alicia Salcedo to depart. A few days earlier he had announced Sweden's financial support for a United Nations-sponsored commission investigating corruption in Guatemala. But Guatemala did not say why it was expelling Kompass and Salcedo beyond alleging "interference in its internal affairs." "It's a desperate attempt, because the government has increasingly less internal support and must get rid of them," Carrera said.
