Resumen Latinoamericano, November 18, 2025.
Moncada assured that her party is prepared to confront any irregularities and called on citizens to participate in the defense of democracy.
The presidential candidate of the ruling Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre), Rixi Moncada, warned of attempts by the right-wing opposition to sabotage the general elections on November 30 and promised firmness in the face of what she described as an attempt at fraud.
During a mass rally in Juticalpa, Olancho department, on Sunday, Moncada sent a strong message to her opponents, Nasry Asfura (National Party) and Salvador Nasralla (Liberal Party). “Don’t even dare to try to steal victory from the popular resistance and the Honduran people,” the candidate declared.
In her speech, the candidate looked back on Honduras’ recent political history, accusing the National and Liberal parties of being behind the 2009 coup against former President Manuel Zelaya and the “electoral frauds of 2013 and 2017,” in which they snatched victory from the people, now represented by the Libre party, she said.
“If they try another fraud, they will see us erupt like the biggest volcano in the history of Honduras,” said Moncada, who recalled the social protests of 2017, which she said left more than 22 young people dead.
The favorite in the polls referred to the recent audio recordings released by the Public Ministry that allegedly reveal a conspiracy by right-wing sectors to alter the election results. In response, she called on the members and supporters of her political force to guard the polling stations to prevent what she called a “macabre and sinister plan.”
Moncada assured that her party is prepared to face any irregularities and called on citizens to remain vigilant and participate in the defense of democracy. “With 13 days to go before the elections, victory is ours,” she concluded.
More than 6.5 million Hondurans are called to the polls on November 30 to elect the next president, three presidential appointees, 298 mayors, 128 deputies to the National Congress, and 20 representatives to the Central American Parliament.
