GUATEMALA CITY: Guatemala's new President Bernardo Arevalo promised on Monday to fight corruption and stand firm against global authoritarianism, in his first speech after being sworn in.

'We will not allow our institutions to be bent by corruption and impunity,' he said at the inauguration ceremony, held in the capital Guatemala City more than nine hours late after a last-ditch effort to prevent the anti-corruption crusader from taking office.
