Honduras On The Edge: Xiomara Castro Calls For Popular Mobilization

December 17, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
After a five-day hiatus and more than two weeks since the elections, the Honduran National Electoral Council (CNE) has resumed counting votes in an electoral process that has been widely questioned by various political forces on the left and right in Honduras. According to the CNE, several technical problems are hindering the count. According to official data, the candidate of the National Party of Honduras (PNH), right-wing Nasry Asfura (backed, among others, by US President Donald Trump) maintains a slight but sustained lead (40.53%) over television presenter Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party of Honduras (PLH) (39.21%).

Honduras’ LIBRE Party Calls For Election Annulment

December 10, 2025 TeleSur. , , , ,
Manuel Zelaya, General Coordinator of Freedom and Refoundation Party (LIBRE) and the opposition alliance against dictatorship, says an acta-by-acta count conducted by LIBRE shows Salvador Nasralla as the winner of the last general elections. However, these results might be nonetheless affected by what he called “electoral terrorism imposed through a manipulated TREP,” citing 26 leaked audio recordings as evidence of fraud. On that line, he denounced 3.6 million threatening messages sent to Hondurans receiving U.S. remittances and documented extortion by criminal groups, which “brutally distorted” voter intentions that had favored LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada.

Another US-Backed Coup Attempt Is Underway In Honduras

December 8, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , ,
On November 30, six million Hondurans voted in their presidential election. One week later, the outcome of the election has not yet been announced due to credible allegations of fraud and illegal interference by the Trump administration, which includes threats of ending remittances from the United States that account for 25% of Hondura's GDP. Clearing the FOG speaks with Camila Escalante of Press TV and a founder of Kawsachun News who has covered Latin America for nearly ten years. Escalante provides background to the current political crisis and explains what is known so far about the election. She describes similarities to the 2019 coup in Bolivia.

Trump’s Interference Invalidates Presidential Election In Honduras

December 8, 2025 John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
An extraordinary catalog of US interference – amounting to an electoral coup – may have destroyed what was already a struggling democracy in Honduras. Trump has succeeded in closing the door to progressive government and in all likelihood his preferred neoliberal candidate – previously trailing in many opinion polls – will be declared president when the count eventually finishes. While Washington’s aversion to foreign interference in its domestic elections verges on paranoia, the gross hypocrisy which runs through its foreign policy leaves it free of any compunction when meddling in other countries’ elections, especially in Latin America.

Trump Frees Drug Trafficker; US Meddles In Honduras’ Elections

December 5, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
Donald Trump has pardoned and freed from prison one of the world’s worst drug dealers, the former dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine and machine guns into the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been openly meddling in Honduras’ 2025 election. Honduran electoral officials have revealed evidence of massive fraud, aimed at putting a right-wing US-backed candidate in power. The US government sponsored a military coup against Honduras’ democratically elected left-wing president in 2009.

Honduras: Plot By The US-Backed Far Right Causes Political Crisis

December 4, 2025 Alejandra Garcia, Resumen English. , , ,
More than 6 million Hondurans went to the polls this past Sunday to elect the country’s next president in a process marked by irregularities, foreign interference, and coup attempts by the far right. Pre-election polls showed a wide lead for the candidate of the ruling Libre party, Rixi Moncada. However, today Honduras marks three days without knowing its president-elect, amid technical failures and an extremely tight count that keeps conservative candidates Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla in a technical tie, in what Moncada describe as an electoral plot.

Honduran Elections 2025 Preliminary Results Released

December 1, 2025 teleSURenglish. , , ,
Honduran National Electoral Council released its first preliminary results after closing ballot boxes, but the Freedom and Refoundation Party quickly raised fraud alarms. The electoral day on November 30 in Honduras culminated with the National Electoral Council‘s disclosure of initial preliminary presidential results. These figures, representing 34.25% of processed ballots, immediately stirred intense nationwide expectation. Pre-election polls focused on the candidacies of former Defence Minister Rixi Moncada (FREE Party, LIBRE in Spanish) and the right-wing contenders: former Tegucigalpa Mayor Nasry Asfura (National Party) and television host Salvador Nasralla (Liberal Party).

Interfering In The Interference: Trump, WOLA And Honduran Elections

November 30, 2025 Adrienne Pine, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Trump’s surprise promise to pardon convicted drug trafficker and former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández on the eve of today’s Honduran presidential election, in combination with his directive to Hondurans earlier in the week that they vote for Hernández-allied candidate Nasry Asfura Zablah have interfered with the carefully planned interference already underway in Washington. While Trump prefers the brutish approach that succeeded in keeping his friend Milei in control in the recent Argentinian election, other Washington actors have long maintained a different approach to regime change of coordinated messaging between politicians and organizations across the political spectrum to give the appearance of an unbiased shared concern based in human rights and democracy.

Trump Pardons Convicted Narco-Trafficking Politician

November 30, 2025 Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , , , ,
On November 28, US President Donald Trump Trump declared he will be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years in a New York prison in 2024 for his role in helping smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the US in a drug-running scheme linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Hernandez, Trump wrote, had been “treated very harshly and unfairly.” While Hernandez was President of Honduras, he initiated contracts worth over half a million dollars with Republican lobbying firm BGR Group, after his brother, Tony, was sentenced to life in prison for cocaine smuggling.

Candidate Rixi Moncada Accuses Electoral System Of Being Hacked

November 27, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
During closing campaign events this weekend, Moncada—the official LIBRE presidential candidate—accused the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP) of being “hacked” by the country’s two-party establishment in an effort to “steal the elections” scheduled for Nov. 30. According to Moncada, a plan is underway to insert pre-fabricated voting records into the TREP system to manipulate preliminary results. In response, she urged party members to remain mobilized and actively defend the vote. She called on poll workers to photograph each tally sheet submitted to TREP and retain a physical copy of the official closing tally sheet as irrefutable proof.

US Interference Threatens Electoral Integrity In Honduras

November 25, 2025 Progressive International. , , ,
As Honduras approaches its 30 November general election, troubling signs have emerged of a coordinated effort to distort, delegitimize, and ultimately interfere in the country’s sovereign democratic process. Yesterday, many Honduran political figures — including presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla and numerous members of the Honduran National Congress — attended a Western Hemisphere Subcommittee hearing in the United States Congress chaired by Representative María Elvira Salazar, a far-right proponent of US intervention in Latin America.

The Quiet Plot To End Progressive Government In Honduras

November 12, 2025 John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Trump’s gunboat diplomacy in the Caribbean grabs the headlines, while quieter moves to destabilize other progressive Latin American governments go unnoticed by corporate media. A key case is a plot that would create chaos enabling a neoliberal candidate to be declared victor, with Washington’s connivance, in Honduras’s elections on November 30. At stake is four more years of progressive government or – otherwise – returning to the neoliberalism that prevailed after the US-backed military coup in 2009. The electoral defeat of progressive parties in Ecuador and Bolivia earlier this year, and the uncertain chances of progressive candidate Jeannette Jara in Chile’s elections this month and next, mean that Honduras is a crucial test.

Honduras Under Increasing Threat As Election Nears

November 8, 2025 Committee of Families of Disappeared Detainees in Honduras, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Just one month before the November 30 vote for a new President of Honduras, as reported by Progressive International, leaked recordings unveiled a plot to manipulate logistics on election day, create chaos, and invite the US embassy to declare someone other than Rixi Moncada as the victor. Moncada, the governing party candidate, is leading by 14 percentage points in recent polls. As the government applies the Constitution to protect the votes of the Honduran people, it finds itself obliged to take measures that are easily criticized if viewed out of context.

World Leaders Rebel Against United States And Israel

World leaders from roughly 190 countries gathered in September for the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This year, many governments condemned the United States and Israel for carrying out crimes against humanity in Gaza. Representatives of numerous countries expressed support for the Palestinian people, while denouncing Western imperialism. A UN commission and multiple UN legal experts have stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the 2025 UNGA general debate, it was left-wing leaders from Latin America who led the resistance against the US empire. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro compared the US government to Nazi Germany and referred to Donald Trump as the “new Hitler”.

If You Don’t Want To Confront Oppression, Your Role As An Intellectual Is Pointless

September 18, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
At the grave of Berta Isabel Cáceres Flores (1971–2016) in La Esperanza, Honduras, where she was born and died, I watched a yellow butterfly flutter around a bougainvillea bush. It flew as if unconcerned, going from grave to grave in the quiet cemetery. Beside Berta’s grave is that of her brother, Carlos Alberto López Flores (1958–2004), a communist who studied at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow and was a vital influence on the thinking of his younger sister. The other side of Berta’s grave remains empty. It awaits the body of Carlos and Berta’s mother María Austra Bertha Flores López – known as Mamá Berta – who buried two of her children.
