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.

Xiomara Castro calls for investigation after electoral materials arrive late in Honduras’ largest cities

Honduran President Xiomara Castro said on Wednesday that the logistical failures in the distribution of electoral materials in some voting centers in the country’s two most important cities during the primary and internal elections held last Sunday must be investigated.
“The causes or reasons behind the problems in those areas, both in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, need to be investigated,” Castro told journalists during a working visit to the city of Siguatepeque in central Honduras.
For reasons that have not yet been fully clarified but are under investigation by the Public Ministry (Prosecutor’s Office), hundreds of electoral ballots were delivered with more than a twelve-hour delay in the two major cities, which caused widespread discontent and outrage, and led many people to end up voting until the early hours of Monday.
What was most surprising was that the materials – the distribution, oversight, and custody of which are the responsibility of the Armed Forces at the national level – did not reach many voting centers in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula on time.

Lamine Yamal and Raphinha lead Barça to a 4-1 aggregate victory over Benfica

Young talent Lamine Yamal and Brazilian forward Raphinha secured Barcelona’s spot in the Champions League quarterfinals with a 3-1 victory over Benfica (4-1 on aggregate) on Tuesday at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc.
Raphinha (11’) opened the scoring for Barça after a brilliant assist from Yamal. However, Benfica’s Nicolás Otamendi (13’) quickly leveled the match with a header from a corner kick. Yamal restored the lead (27’) with a stunning goal, and Raphinha sealed the victory (42’) just before halftime.
Determined to avoid any surprises, Barcelona started aggressively, with early attempts from Yamal and Lewandowskisignaling their intent to dominate. All goals came in the first half, securing a convincing win and a place in the next round.

Former First Lady of Honduras Seeks Presidential Nomination Amidst Controversy

Ana García, the former First Lady of Honduras and wife of former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is currently serving a drug trafficking sentence in the United States, will seek the presidential candidacy of the opposition National Party in Sunday’s primary elections. If successful, she would run in the general elections scheduled for November 30.
García is one of three women, all lawyers by profession, from the country’s three major political parties participating in the Sunday’s popular consultation, in which more than half of the country’s ten million inhabitants will be eligible to vote.
The other two candidates are Rixi Moncada, the current Minister of Defense, who is aiming to be the presidential candidate for the ruling Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre), a left-wing party, and Maribel Espinoza, from the century-old and conservative Liberal Party.
The wife of ex-president Hernández leads the Avanza Movement within the National Party, also a century-old and conservative party that has alternated in power with the Liberal Party for over a century, with some interruptions due to military coups.
