2013年是莫利纳总统执政的第2年。第二季度，由于总统的支持率下滑，政府推出了有关传媒方面的新举措。与此同时，为履行社会契约，增加财政透明度，政府在人事方面做出了一系列调整。5月10日，危地马拉高等刑事法院做出判决，前总统埃弗拉因·里奥斯·蒙特因在内战时期参与大屠杀并犯下其他反人类罪行，判处80年有期徒刑。而宪法法院于5月20日否决了高等刑事法院对前总统蒙特的判决，这一事件有损于危地马拉的司法形象。2013年，危地马拉GDP增长率为3.4%，与中美洲总体情况基本持平，通货膨胀率处于预期范围内，银行系统保持稳定，贸易协议取得有限推进。由于在新闻自由方面存在问题，政府遭遇媒体责难，涉及维权的暴力事件呈上升趋势。在对外关系方面，莫利纳政府持续推动毒品非犯罪化策略。
The Otto Pérez Molina government launched a new media initiative in 2013 to promote supporting rate that dropped remarkably in the second quarter. There were major changes in the cabinet to accelerate the implementation of social contracts and promote fiscal transparency. The Constitutional Court denied the rule against former President Efrain Rios Montt，which caused massive controversy and viewed as a violation against the jurisdiction independence. In 2013，the GDP growth rate reached 3.4% and the inflation rate was still within the expected range. The Congress has approved the Association Agreement between the EU and Central America.
