In a climate of mistrust and violence, Hondurans are called to go to the polls, Sunday, November 28, for presidential, legislative and municipal elections full of uncertainties, but crucial for the future of the country. At least 28 political actors have been assassinated since the start of the campaign.
Honduras has been living in perpetual crisis since the coup d’état of 2009, which ousted the left-wing president Manuel Zelaya (2006-2009) and placed the National Party (PN, right) in power. The 5 million voters must decide whether to sweep the administration of their institutions radically, or whether to keep politicians often accused of drug trafficking, corruption and money laundering in power. American justice did not hesitate to qualify Honduras as “Narco-state”.
The current president, Juan Orlando Hernandez (known as “JOH”), was cited by a New York court as a “Powerful ally” and an accomplice of his brother “Tony” Hernandez, sentenced in March to life imprisonment for drug trafficking. The head of state claims his innocence, attributing these accusations to revenge by drug traffickers extradited by Tegucigalpa to the United States.
Today, fears of post-election violence are great. “A climate of mistrust towards the results is fueled by all the candidates, and in the event of too tight results, the population could be tempted to go out in the street”, underlines Tiziano Breda, analyst at the International Crisis Group think-tank, who fears a re-release of the 2017 scenario. blood, with 23 deaths.
Abolish the “dictatorship”
Leading the polls, Xiomara Castro (Freedom and Refoundation Party, Free, left), wife of ousted ex-president Manuel Zelaya, wants to abolish the “Dictatorship of the National Party”. The opposition managed to unite behind it, with the candidate of the Salvador de Honduras Party, Salvador Nasralla, having given up his own candidacy in October, in exchange for the post of vice-president if the candidate won.
Mme Castro can count on the support of social movements and unions. She launched a progressive campaign, promising in particular to partially decriminalize abortion – banned without exception in Honduras – and to create an organization to fight against impunity, in collaboration with the United Nations.
