Lawyer Gustavo Varela filed a complaint this Saturday with the Public Prosecutor’s Office against deputies of the Honduran political opposition, accusing them of usurpation of functions.

They are deputies Iroshka Elvir and Suyapa Figueroa of the Salvador Party of Honduras (PSH) and Marlon Lara of the Liberal Party. According to the complaint, these congressmen are usurping functions that correspond to the board of directors of the National Congress: “we are filing a complaint against these citizens since they have usurped the functions of the board of directors”.

The denunciation is due to the fact that, in the extraordinary sessions of the opposition benches, Iroshka Elvir acted as president, Suyapa Figueroa as secretary and Marlon Lara as pro-secretary.

The crime for which he is denouncing them is abuse of authority, and he is willing for the Public Prosecutor’s Office to add others, he added.

The means of evidence against the deputies are a resolution and a decree with the signatures of the three legislators. Likewise, the lawyer asserted that the denunciation is a citizen action, since he cannot allow that the vices of the past continue to be repeated.

The denunciation refers that on Wednesday of this week, the political opposition of the National Congress in “extraordinary session” approved a motion to question the Minister of Security, Gustavo Sánchez, and the manager of the Empresa Nacional de Artes Gráficas (ENAG), Edis Moncada.

In the session, deputy Iroshka Elvir acted as president, PSH deputy, Suyapa Figueroa, as secretary and Liberal Party deputy, Marlon Lara, as pro-secretary.

Trump urges Putin to reach peace deal

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his desire for Russian President Vladimir Putin to “reach a deal” to end the war in Ukraine, while also reaffirming his willingness to impose sanctions on Russia.

“I want to see him reach an agreement to prevent Russian, Ukrainian, and other people from dying,” Trump stated during a press conference in the Oval Office at the White House.

“I think he will. I don’t want to have to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil,” the Republican leader added, recalling that he had already taken similar measures against Venezuela by sanctioning buyers of the South American country’s crude oil.

Trump also reiterated his frustration over Ukraine’s resistance to an agreement that would allow the United States to exploit natural resources in the country—a condition he set in negotiations to end the war.

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.

Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.

Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.

However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

Son of journalist José Rubén Zamora condemns father’s return to prison as “illegal”

Guatemalan court decides Wednesday whether to convict journalist José Rubén Zamora

The son of renowned journalist José Rubén Zamora Marroquín, José Carlos Zamora, has denounced as “illegal” the court order that sent his father back to a Guatemalan prison on March 3, after already spending 819 days behind barsover a highly irregular money laundering case.

“My father’s return to prison was based on an arbitrary and illegal ruling. It is also alarming that the judge who had granted him house arrest received threats,” José Carlos Zamora told EFE in an interview on Saturday.

The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October. Zamora had already spent 819 days in prison over an alleged money laundering case.

His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”
