Honduras’ Castro officially declared president-elect

AFP

Honduras’ national electoral body on Monday officially declared Xiomara Castro president-elect ahead of her inauguration next month as the country’s first woman leader.

Leftist Castro, 62, received more than 51 percent of the November 28 vote, comfortably beating right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura who polled at just under 37 percent.

Despite both the leading candidates’ parties claiming victory within an hour of polls closing, two days later Asfura visited Castro to officially concede and congratulate her.

Castro, from the LIBRE party, will serve as president from January 27, 2022 for four years.

Her victory broke 12 years of National Party rule and four decades of its shared rule alongside the Liberal Party.

The wife of deposed former president Manuel Zelaya, Castro will take over from Juan Orlando Hernandez, a controversial figure who was reelected in 2017 amid opposition claims of fraud.

Although the CNE has finished counting presidential votes, it said it was postponing an announcement on the winners of the legislative and mayoral elections as it has not finished counting those.

September 20 |

Guatemalans mobilized this Tuesday in various parts of the country to demand the resignation of Attorney General Consuelo Porras, prosecutors Rafael Curruchiche and Cinthia Monterroso, and Judge Fredy Orellan in the face of a coup d’état after the election results.

The members of the 48 Cantons of Totonicapán, who began a march from the Chamber of Industry building to the central headquarters of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, demand that these officials leave their posts.

“Out, coup plotters”, was one of the slogans of a group of neighbors in Chiquimulilla, Santa Rosa, as they demanded their resignation. For her part, Kaqchikel researcher Sandra Xinico said that “we are denouncing how the system is eating away at our lives”.

Similarly, the Indigenous Mayor’s Office of Sololá and the Xinca Parliament joined the mobilization. In fact, these organizations filed an injunction in the Constitutional Court, so that the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office refrains from taking actions that jeopardize or threaten the election rights.

In this sense, members of the Comité de Desarrollo Campesino (Codeca) protested in front of the headquarters of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Chimaltenango.

They also demand justice for the murder of activists and human rights defenders of this peasant organization, while denouncing that “Curruchiche is not a prosecutor, he is just another criminal”, said the movement.

“We demand all the media not to make invisible our call for a Popular and Plurinational Constituent Process. We are a plural movement that recognizes that the only way out for Guatemala is structural changes”, said Codeca.

Other territories where mobilizations took place were Alta Verapaz, Quiché, San Marcos, Escuintla, Sololá, among others.

September 19 |

The president-elect of Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo, filed this Monday an injunction before the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) to stop the actions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which various sectors catalogued as an ongoing coup d’état.

In the appeal filed, Arevalo, winner of the presidency in the second round of elections of last August 20, denounces and demands the end of the interference of judicial actors in the development of the electoral process and the change of command.

Arevalo, vice-president-elect Karin Herrera and members of the Seed Movement went to the headquarters of the Supreme Court accompanied by dozens of supporters who gathered in the Human Rights Plaza in the Guatemalan capital.

Arevalo’s action on Monday is in addition to the accusations he made days ago that a group of officials betrayed the people by using their authority to interfere in the outcome of the last elections.

At the same time, peasant and native peoples’ organizations called for a plurinational strike starting this Tuesday, demanding the resignation of several officials.

The officials targeted are, among others, Attorney General Consuelo Porras, the head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office against Impunity (Feci), Rafael Curruchiche, and the seventh criminal judge of Guatemala, Freddy Orellana.

The political group Codeca, which seeks the convocation of a Constituent Assembly to create a new Magna Carta, announced that there will be at least 20 protest points throughout Guatemala.

The public acts will take place in different scenarios and times. So far, the Assembly of Peoples of the South Coast, indigenous authorities of the 48 Cantons of Totonicapán, students from the University of San Carlos, the #JusticiaYa movement and the Justice, Peace and Integrity Commission of the Conference of Religious of Guatemala, among others, have confirmed their participation.

Through social networks, university students called for a peaceful march for dignity and in defense of democracy in Guatemala City (capital), starting at 15H30, from the Plaza de la República to the headquarters of the CSJ.

Once there, together with other sectors, they will support the elected president to present the above mentioned injunction, which gives continuity to mobilizations that, since last July, demanded Porras’ dismissal.

This Saturday, Arevalo denounced that the referred officials betrayed the people and used their authority to interfere in the results of the general elections.
