During the month of December, Honduran grassroots organizations rejected the interference of US President Donald Trump in the Honduran electoral process. Trump favored the National Party candidate, Nasry Asfura, in an act that violated the right to self-determination of the Honduran people. In January, Asfura assumed the presidency of Honduras amid strong accusations of electoral fraud.

Meanwhile, the rights of organized campesino families continue to be violated by the criminal groups “Los Cachos” and “Los Pechugas,” responsible for forcibly evicting campesino families from their lands and murdering campesinos organized under the Agrarian Platform.
