The two men hired by Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to spearhead their presidential campaigns in California are, for the moment, rivals in what could be the most important primary race of 2016.
But four years ago, Tim Clark and Ron Nehring, who are running the California campaigns for Trump and Cruz respectively, worked as paid advisers to a campaign to elect a Guatemalan presidential candidate whose platform included a call for public executions.
Baldízon’s political career in Guatemala has long been linked to unsavory patronage – a concern that InsightCrime, a group that investigates organized crime in the Americas, reports is fueled by his refusal to disclose the identity of the private donors who bankroll his campaigns.
Dr Michael Allison, a Latin America expert and associate professor of political science at the University of Scranton, said Baldízon had faced questions over campaign finance improprieties.
“As a candidate in 2011, Baldízon ran on a platform where he promised to make use of televised executions,” he said, describing him as a populist “who promised everything to everybody”. “He promised to get the country’s national soccer team to qualify for the World Cup.”
Clark also said in the email that he did not know about Baldízon’s campaign promise of televising executions – even though it was widely reported in the international media as well as the Guatemalan press.
“I am unaware of his platform regarding public safety,” he said.
