You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Institutional Republican Party''' (((lang-es|Partido Republicano Institucional)), '''PRI'''), until 2013 known as the '''Guatemalan Republican Front''' (''Frente Republicano Guatemalteco'', '''FRG'''), was a [[right-wing]]<ref>((cite web|title=Guatemala - MSN Encarta |url=http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761556126_10/guatemala.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091030045545/http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761556126_10/Guatemala.html |archivedate=2009-10-30 |url-status=dead ))</ref> to [[far-right]]<ref>((cite web|title=Uneasy Allies: The Far Right Comes to Power in Guatemala |url=https://nacla.org/article/uneasy-allies-far-right-comes-power-guatemala |date=2007-09-25 ))</ref> [[political party]] in [[Guatemala]].

==History==
[[File:FRG Logo.svg|left|thumb|Logo of the ''Frente Republicano Guatemalteco'' (FRG, "[[Guatemalan Republican Front]]") founded by General Ríos Montt in 1989 and officially registered in 1990.  The logo is based on an image used by the military government in 1982–83 and tied to the motto ''No robo, no miento, no abuso'' ("I don't steal, I don't lie, I don't abuse").  Here the motto has been changed to ''Seguridad, bienestar, justicia'' ("Security, welfare, justice").]]
It was created in 1989 by former [[president of Guatemala|president]] and [[dictator]] [[Efraín Ríos Montt]], and formally registered in 1990. It chose Ríos Montt as its candidate, but he was not allowed to stand because of a constitutional ban on former coup leaders such as himself from seeking the presidency. By the time the decision was made to ban him, it was too late for the FRG to choose another candidate.  They did win 10 seats in the [[Congress of Guatemala|National Congress]] in those concurrent elections.  It was the main component of the "No Sell-Out Platform," an alliance of right-wing parties.

In early elections only to the Congress in 1994 the FRG gained 32 seats and became the largest single party in the legislature. In the 1995 presidential election, FRG candidate [[Alfonso Portillo]] narrowly lost in the second round, which is a run-off between the two highest placed candidates from the first round ballot.  It gained a reduced 21 seats in Congress.

In 1999 Alfonso Portillo won the presidential election, while the FRG, with 63 seats, had a majority in Congress. Ríos Montt became the President of Congress (speaker). Paradoxically they gained their strongest support from the same rural communities that had most suffered under the former rule of Ríos Montt between 1982 and 1983.

For the [[2003 Guatemala election|2003 presidential elections]], the FRG again put forward Ríos Montt as its presidential candidate. Contradictory judicial rulings on whether he would be able to stand motivated a march on [[Guatemala City]] by FRG supporters bussed in from all over the country on 24 July, resulting in a chaotic situation known as ''[[Jueves Negro]]'' ("Black Thursday"). Days later the ban on Ríos Montt's candidacy was lifted by the [[Constitutional Court of Guatemala|Constitutional Court]]. Opponents claimed that the FRG obtained that ruling by previously appointing its own loyalists to the high court.  Meanwhile, Ríos Montt claimed that previous judicial rulings preventing him from running for president were the work of his political opponents.

Despite a vigorously run campaign, the violence of ''Jueves Negro'', as well as the numerous corruption scandals of the incumbent Portillo administrations, adversely impacted Ríos Montt's popularity and credibility. He was third in first round of voting, with 19.3% of the ballots.  In the congressional elections held the same day, 9 November 2003, the FRG won 19.7% of the popular vote and 43 out of 158 seats, dropping to second in the chamber.

Ríos Montt's daughter, [[Zury Ríos]], was the party's floor leader.

For the [[2007 Guatemalan general election|2007 elections]], the party chose Luis Rabbe as its presidential candidate. With the large number of right-wing parties running in the election, the FRG was badly defeated in these elections. Rabbe came in fifth place with 7.3% of the vote, and the party received 9% of the vote and 15 seats in the congressional elections.

In January 2013, the FRG was renamed to Institutional Republican Party (PRI). Zury Ríos left the party to become [[Vision with Values]] (ViVa)'s presidential candidate in 2015. Instead, PRI nominated the manager and Congressman [[Luis Fernando Pérez]] as its candidate.

===2015 election===
((main|2015 Guatemalan general election))
In the [[legislative]] [[elections in Guatemala|elections]] held on September 6, 2015, the PRI secured 57,948 votes (1.25% of the total) in the race for national-list deputies and, save for defections, will have no representation in the 2016-2020 Congress. In the presidential election held on the same day, its candidate [[Luis Fernando Pérez]] received 41,969 votes (0.86%).

Having failed to secure the minimum of 5% of the popular vote or one seat in Congress, the PRI forfeited its official registration as a party.  The party was dissolved soon afterwards.
