 GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu on Monday announced the formation of an Indian-led political movement whose primary aim is to back her probable bid for Guatemala's presidency this fall.
Menchu is in talks with two minor leftist parties that have offered to make her their presidential candidate. The movement, known as Winaq, does not have time to register itself as a political party before September elections but would back Menchu's candidacy under the banner of one of the smaller registered parties.
Winaq is a Mayan word signifying "the wholeness of the human being."
