  Alfonso Portillo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfonso Antonio Portillo Cabrera (born September 24, 1951) is a Guatemalan politician.
In April 1995 Portillo, along with another seven of the DCG's 13 deputies, left the party to become independents after the parliamentary group was accused of corruption.
Confirming this postulation in June 1999, Portillo launched a campaign in favour of bringing morality into political life, to implacably fight corruption, to defend the indigenous population and the poor campesinos against the small, urban, white elite.
