The president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, denounced to international organizations the interference of the United States (USA) in the recent elections in that country, as part of a diplomatic offensive by her government

“We are going to denounce the electoral coup at the United Nations, in the European Union (EU), the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Organization of American States (OAS),” said the president from the town of Catacamas.

He added that sovereignty is not negotiated and democracy is not surrendered, so the people “should never accept elections with interference and blackmail.”

“We are living in a process marked by threat, 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,” he said.

He also accused President Donald Trump of interfering for freeing former drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández and pressuring Hondurans to vote for Nasry Asfura.
