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.

Honduras arrests former military leaders over 2009 killings
Former Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Honduras, General Romeo Vásquez, was arrested on Sunday as the alleged person responsible for the 2009 killings of two individuals by military personnel, just days after leading the coup against former President Manuel Zelaya.
Along with him, the Deputy Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Venancio Cervantes, and the former commander of the Joint Operations Command were also detained, according to the Secretary of State for Security (Interior), Gustavo Sánchez, on his social media account X.
“The three arrests were made moments ago by the Honduran Police in coordination with the Public Ministry in Tegucigalpa and La Paz (west),” Sánchez said.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office had issued an arrest warrant for the three ex-military officials “on charges of homicide and aggravated assault” against Obed Murillo and Alex Zavala, who were attacked by “members of the Armed Forces,” according to the Public Ministry.

AC Milan defeats Juventus to secure Supercoppa Italiana final spot
AC Milan will take on Inter Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana final on Monday following a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Juventus in the second semifinal held in Riyadh on Friday.
Turkish sensation Kenan Yildiz, a late addition to Juventus’ starting lineup, opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a powerful strike that caught French goalkeeper Mike Maignan off guard.
However, AC Milan, under new Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição—who replaced his compatriot Paulo Fonseca earlier this week—delivered a much-improved second-half performance.
The ‘Rossoneri’ leveled the game in the 71st minute through a penalty converted by American star Christian Pulisic. Just four minutes later, their winning goal came via an own goal by Juventus defender Federico Gatti, who accidentally sent the ball past his goalkeeper, who was caught out of position.

Honduras to send delegation in place of president Castro for Maduro ceremony
Honduran President Xiomara Castro will not attend Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration on January 10, an official source confirmed Friday in Tegucigalpa.
In brief statements to journalists, Honduran Deputy Foreign Minister Gerardo Torres said that Castro “will not go to Venezuela” and that a delegation will likely be sent to represent Honduras at Maduro’s swearing-in ceremony.
Regarding the $100,000 reward announced by Venezuelan police for information on the whereabouts of opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, Torres remarked that it is an internal matter for Venezuela. However, he noted that the situation “reflects a tense political climate ahead of Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration.”
