Honduran Foreign Minister to meet with the U.S. Ambassador

November 8 |
The Honduran Foreign Minister, Enrique Reina, announced on Tuesday that he summoned the US ambassador, Laura Dogu, to talk face to face about the latest statements made by his country on Honduran domestic policy.
Foreign Minister Reina assured that he will let the US ambassador know the “disagreement of the government of President Xiomara Castro for positions that we consider an interference in sovereign affairs”.
In this sense, the meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the representative of the U.S. Government will be held first thing on Wednesday.
The Government of Honduras rejected the statements coming from US soil on internal issues of the Central American country; the Chancellor specified that what happens within the National Congress is an internal matter of his nation, referring to the recent violent incident occurred with opposition deputies.
Recently, U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Marco Rubio, ranking members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, stated that the violence against opposition members only “affects democracy in Honduras”.
Likewise, the U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Frank O. Mora, expressed a negative opinion on the issue.

Guatemalan authorities arrest salvadoran gang member for mayor’s murder

Guatemalan authorities announced on Sunday the arrest of a suspected Salvadoran gang member accused of involvement in the murder of a mayor from a predominantly Indigenous town. This marks the second arrest related to the killing, which took place in February.
“Investigators” from the National Civil Police (PNC) “captured the second suspect involved in the armed attack that resulted in the death of the mayor of Chuarrancho,” the PNC stated on its X account.
The arrested individual has been identified as Óscar Alfredo Martínez, a 31-year-old Salvadoran allegedly affiliated with the Barrio 18 gang and known by the alias “El Guanaco”, according to the PNC.
Authorities believe Martínez was involved in the February 26 killing of Gerson Saul Ajcúc Xot, mayor of Chuarrancho, a farming municipality located approximately 30 km from Guatemala City.
The 49-year-old mayor was shot dead while driving on one of the main roads leading to the capital.
