\"\"<\/a>International Observers Sound Alarm Over U.S. Interference After Trump\u2019s Endorsement in Honduras<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, November 28, 2025:<\/em>\u00a0 As the U.S. goes officially partisan, 47 Global Exchange<\/a> observers from 13 countries arrive in Honduras to participate in an international electoral observation mission organized in alliance with the Honduran Center for Democracy Studies (CESPAD). Observers will be trained and present on November 30, when Hondurans elect their next president, 128 congressional seats, and authorities in 298 municipalities.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump escalated U.S. involvement by posting an election week endorsement of National Party candidate Tito Asfura, while attacking the other candidates \u2014 calling them \u201ccommunists,\u201d \u201cnarcoterrorists,\u201d and \u201cunreliable\u201d– and urging Hondurans to vote for Asfura.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s irresponsible comments on the eve of Honduran elections make an already difficult political moment for Honduras that much harder, says Ted Lewis of Global Exchange, the U.S.-based pro-democracy organization that has joined CESPAD to lead the observation mission. \u201cTrump\u2019s declaration,\u201d said Lewis, \u201cis not just disrespectful of Honduran sovereignty and democratic dignity; it is part and parcel of a full-on return to gunboat diplomacy that includes a naval buildup and murderous, illegal attacks on civilian boats off the coasts of Colombia and Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n

A series of hostile \u2018anti-communist\u2019 communications from U.S. Congressional hearings<\/a>, op-eds<\/a>, and State Department posts<\/a> is representative of Washington\u2019s approach to these elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese red-baiting messages synchronize with those of the very same forces in Honduras that supported the U.S.- and Canada-backed military coup in Honduras in 2009,\u201d says Karen Spring of the Honduras Solidarity Network and coordinator of the international mission. \u201cThis election period has been marked by sharp polarization, fear-mongering, and sophisticated attempts to undermine confidence in the electoral process in order to oust a government that is seen as unfavorable to U.S. interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LIBRE party and its candidate, as well as those of the Liberal and Nationalist opposition parties, diverge on economic policy, on which international alliances to pursue, and on what the country’s development priorities should be.<\/p>\n

In this polarized environment, Global Exchange reaffirms that, like CESPAD, our role is strictly to document electoral conditions, not to evaluate party platforms and certainly not<\/strong> to endorse any candidates. And we vehemently oppose<\/strong> any attempts by the U.S., Trump, or any other external actors to game these elections or undermine Honduran sovereignty.<\/p>\n

CESPAD\u2019s domestic observers and international allies, organized by Global Exchange, will travel widely across Honduras to conduct dawn-to-dusk observations of voting and monitoring of local conditions in several electorally sensitive areas and voting sites \u2013 continuously feeding reports to CESPAD headquarters in Tegucigalpa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a robust methodology, grounded in the law, which will allow us to observe\u2014with evidence and direct channels with the electoral institutions\u2014enabling us to address any inconsistencies. We respect the role of the electoral authority and are committed to ensuring that this process is legitimate,\u201d says Luc\u00eda Vijil.<\/p>\n

A press conference announcing the deployment of the International Observation Mission (Global Exchange, CESPAD, and the Youth Electoral Platform) took place on Friday, November 28, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at the Hotel Plaza San Mart\u00edn (Audiencias Room).

Observadores Denuncian Injerencia de Estados Unidos Tras Favoritismo de Trump en Honduras<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, 28 de noviembre de 2025:<\/strong><\/em> Mientras Estados Unidos se vuelve oficialmente partidista, 47 observadores de Global Exchange<\/a>, procedentes de 13 pa\u00edses, llegan a Honduras para participar en una misi\u00f3n internacional de observaci\u00f3n electoral organizada en colaboraci\u00f3n con el Centro de Estudios para la Democracia (CESPAD) de Honduras. Los observadores recibir\u00e1n capacitaci\u00f3n y estar\u00e1n presentes el 30 de noviembre, cuando los hondure\u00f1os elijan a su pr\u00f3ximo presidente, 128 esca\u00f1os en el Congreso y autoridades en 298 municipios.<\/p>\n

El mi\u00e9rcoles, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, intensific\u00f3 la participaci\u00f3n de su pa\u00eds al publicar un respaldo al candidato del Partido Nacional, Tito Asfura, durante el periodo electoral, al tiempo que atacaba a los dem\u00e1s candidatos, tild\u00e1ndolos de \u00abcomunistas\u00bb, \u00abnarcoterroristas\u00bb y \u00abpoco confiables\u00bb, e instando a los hondure\u00f1os a votar por Asfura.<\/p>\n

Los comentarios irresponsables de Trump en v\u00edsperas de las elecciones hondure\u00f1as complican a\u00fan m\u00e1s un momento pol\u00edtico ya de por s\u00ed dif\u00edcil para Honduras, afirma Ted Lewis, de Global Exchange, la organizaci\u00f3n pro democr\u00e1tica con sede en Estados Unidos que se ha unido al CESPAD para dirigir la misi\u00f3n de observaci\u00f3n. La declaraci\u00f3n de Trump dijo Lewis, \u00abno solo es irrespetuosa hacia la soberan\u00eda y la dignidad democr\u00e1tica de Honduras, sino que forma parte de un retorno en toda regla a la diplomacia de las ca\u00f1oneras, que incluye una mayor presencia naval y ataques mortales e ilegales contra buques civiles frente a las costas de Colombia y Venezuela\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Una serie de comunicaciones \u00abanticomunistas\u00bb hostiles procedentes de audiencias<\/a>, art\u00edculos de opini\u00f3n<\/a> y publicaciones del Departamento de Estado<\/a> reflejan la postura de Washington respecto a estas elecciones.<\/p>\n

\u00abEstos mensajes de car\u00e1cter deshonestos con tintes ideol\u00f3gicos se sincronizan con las fuerzas que apoyaron el golpe militar respaldado por Estados Unidos y Canad\u00e1 en Honduras en 2009\u00bb, afirma Karen Spring, de HSN y coordinadora de la misi\u00f3n internacional. \u00abEste periodo electoral se ha caracterizado por una fuerte polarizaci\u00f3n, el alarmismo e intentos sofisticados de socavar la confianza en el proceso electoral con el fin de derrocar a un gobierno que se considera desfavorable para los intereses de Estados Unidos\u00bb.<\/p>\n

El partido LIBRE y su candidato, as\u00ed como los partidos Liberal y Nacional de la oposici\u00f3n, difieren en materia de pol\u00edtica econ\u00f3mica, en cuanto a las alianzas internacionales que se deben buscar y en cuanto a cu\u00e1les deben ser las prioridades de desarrollo del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

En este entorno polarizado, Global Exchange reafirma que, al igual que CESPAD, nuestro papel se limita estrictamente a documentar las condiciones electorales, no a evaluar las plataformas de los partidos y, por supuesto, no a<\/strong> respaldar a ning\u00fan candidato. Nos oponemos vehementemente<\/strong> a cualquier intento por parte de Estados Unidos, Trump o cualquier otro actor externo de manipular estas elecciones o socavar la soberan\u00eda de Honduras.<\/p>\n

Los observadores nacionales del CESPAD y los aliados internacionales organizados por Global Exchange viajar\u00e1n por todo Honduras para observar la votaci\u00f3n desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer y supervisar las condiciones locales en diversas zonas sensibles y colegios electorales, enviando informes continuos a la sede del CESPAD en Tegucigalpa.<\/p>\n

\u201cContamos con una metodolog\u00eda robusta en base a la ley que nos permitir\u00e1 tener una observaci\u00f3n con evidencias y canales directos con la institucionalidad electoral que nos permite atender cualquier inconsistencia. Respetamos el papel de la autoridad electoral y apostaremos a que este proceso sea leg\u00edtimo\u201d, afirma Luc\u00eda Vijil.<\/p>\n
