The President of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, announced on Tuesday a diplomatic offensive before international organizations to denounce the interference of the United States in the Honduran elections.
In this regard, the president stated from the town of Catacamas: “We are going to denounce the electoral coup at the United Nations, the European Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and the Organization of American States (OAS).”

While emphasizing that sovereignty is not negotiable and democracy is not surrendered, the Honduran politician added that the people “must never accept elections with interference and blackmail.”
“We are living through a process marked by threats; these actions constitute an ongoing electoral coup. My duty as president is to defend democracy, national dignity, and the sovereign will of the people. That is an unbreakable mandate of our Constitution,” she declared.
Stating that “democracy does not exist without justice,” Castro expressed her conviction that “the refounding of Honduras does not accept submission.”
She also accused President Trump of interference for releasing former drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández and pressuring Hondurans to vote for Nasry Asfura.

Given this situation, the Honduran president denounced the “irregularities that led to a colossal fraud.”
“The people went to the polls and participated bravely and decisively, but we experienced a process marked by threats, coercion, manipulation of the TREP (preliminary results system), and the adulteration of the popular will,” she added.
On Sunday, November 30, Honduras held elections to choose its president. In this context, Rixi Moncada, the Libre Party candidate, denounced the electoral fraud being orchestrated by the Honduran right wing, with the support of President Donald Trump.
The US president had disparagingly labeled the presidential candidate a communist for defending the interests of the Honduran people. He had also promised the release of former president Juan Orlando Hernández, sentenced by the US justice system to 45 years in prison for his ties to drug trafficking.
