Subject
The government of President Juan Orlando Hernandez faces major challenges.
Significance
Pressure has been growing on President Juan Orlando Hernandez as a result of a corruption scandal and potential constitutional reform. Even if he is not forced to accede to calls for his resignation, political weakness may force him to make deals with his opponents.
Impacts
Continuing protests over corruption will erode the legitimacy of the government.
The government will appear increasingly open to the possibility of an international anti-corruption body.
Constitutional reforms offer potential for deals to be struck across the political spectrum.
