The Miami Herald has a tantalizing article up on Guatemala’s Parade of Ridicule, a century-old student protest tradition that mixes political comment, satirical graffiti, drinking … and alleged masked extortion.
The Herald piece left me wanting to know more about this tradition, but a quick Google didn’t turn up any good English-language sources. Anyone have information to share?

The guelga pain is an activity where students talk about the discomforts of our country, but unfortunately it has long been lost in the study, as many students only register for this activity and why professionals are mediocre, which only win by neck, ie if a student who likes parties and participating in this, that professors take into account and ignore the intellect.
