\ Guatemala’s constitutional court ordered the authorities to remove protesters that are blocking entry to the hydroelectric Chixoy dam and other electricity projects.\ \ The road to Chixoy has been blocked for six weeks, as has a stretch of network owned by the Italian company Enel.\ \ Business leaders have complained that the blockades have scared investors that are keen to take part in an 800 megawatt tender and the plan for the expansion of the transmission networks.\ \ Original source (in Spanish): Prensa Libre\ \ \ \
