President Vinicio Cerezo of Guatemala joins military chiefs at a reviewing stand on Army Day. Seated by free elections and inaugurated in January 1986 Cerezo is Guatemala's first civilian chief of state in 16 years. His election signaled the military's concession of absolute control in the face of international isolation, economic distress, and U.S. pressure. But military leaders industrialists, and wealthy landowners continue to hold the balance of power.
