00:00Let's go live to Honduras once again to listen to President Xiomara Castro, let's see.
00:08About electricity as well as in other places, we have to recall all the efforts that we are making
00:19a company that wanted to privatize, we are making efforts to stop it as a welfare of the people,
00:34as the communal right of the people, because this means that energy must reach the last area
00:46of all areas of our country and also as there have been two years and seven months in office
01:00and we have made a great effort to be able to lift up this country
01:12and to counteract all the damages of previous governments and one of the
01:26important things is to recover our dignity as people.
01:32So, we have to point out, we have to prioritize our dignity, we not only recovered our dignity,
01:48but also our willingness, our will, the will of the people. I know that these things
01:58are not understandable by those who don't love our homeland. These are not understandable by
02:11those who intend to sell out our resources, those who delivered our forests, our rivers,
02:22our seas, those people that are bending over the external forces and allow them to
02:35arrive here to implement, to pursue mechanisms that are not ours, to come here
02:43to try to impose wills that are not the wills of the people, those who don't love
02:52the homeland, who don't know and don't understand the dignity of our people, that they don't
03:00understand the value of having a homeland. Those who point me out and those who regret
03:12when they call that there is no, that they don't have to fight with friends.
03:21I understand that we have friends and good relations with countries, but those relations
03:33must be under respect, under values of respect, not of interference.
03:41The Honduran people know, are aware of all the
03:49governmental projects. Today, on the sake of the people, we are demonstrating
03:57that the funds, the incomes of the Honduran people, of the taxes are being channeled,
04:08are being allocated on the projects like this one, on highways projects,
04:18on productive roads, on productive projects as hospitals, and newborn facilities, health
04:29facilities, one of the largest that we have in the country. Likewise, the repair of schools.
04:42What we are supporting, we are supporting the education with the scholarships and snacks,
04:54and the endless support to the field with the agricultural bonus, with the cafe bonus,
05:06with several bonuses, and the support that we are providing to the construction of soccer
05:13areas. And we are supporting also the Yes I Can program for those people who don't know,
05:25who are illiterate. And so, we are supporting the projects for poor people, programs that
05:35are direct, that are benefiting the population, the forgotten people, and who has been suffering
05:47for so many years. And I have always said that this is going to be a transition government
05:54from dictatorship to democracy. But we are doing more than we have planned, and we have projected,
06:01because these projects in which we are lifting up not only companies that are so important for
06:12our citizens, men and women, that represent the economic breakthrough for our country.
06:20They are so much important for Honduras, because they represent
06:28the development for our communities. The Honduran people, I want, I would like to say to you
06:41that we are working that well, that there's been a conspiracy against my government,
06:53and that's important for you to know. Yesterday, they attacked
07:01the head of the armed forces and the minister of defense in our country.
07:13Look, this is a very, we have to be on alert on this, because this attack we cannot allow,
07:29because it weakens the institutionality of the armed forces.
07:37Not only that, it jeopardizes the electoral process of our country.
07:53We have been going through, we have experienced a coup d'etat before.
08:01We lived through what it means, violence, persecution, violations of human rights.
08:14I would like to promise you, to promise the Honduran people,
08:19that there won't be any more coup d'etats.
08:30And that I am not going to allow that the instrument, the extradition instrument,
08:43be used to blackmail the Honduran armed forces. We are defending our armed forces.
08:54No to the coup, no to the coup d'etat. We are going to follow building the Honduras
09:02that the people is building alongside my government. We are going to continue building
09:11peace, unity that the people need today. Let's not forget ever our resilience.
09:29We were just listening to the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, as she was talking
09:35about the situation in the country. The president of Honduras was making reference to the attacks
09:43that happened yesterday. Let's continue to listen to the president.
09:53We're looking at images as she takes part in the
09:57opening of this power plant to which she attended today.
10:05We were listening to the words of the Honduran president, Xiomara Castro, who addressed the
10:31country at the opening of the electric power plant located at the Santa Rosa de Copan,
10:37one of the most important things that she was highlighting, along with the efforts that the
10:42government is making while striving to rebuild the welfare of the country after the dictatorship.
10:49She denounced a conspiracy against her government, as she mentioned yesterday's attack against the
10:56heads of the armed forces in the country, which she described as an attack against institutionality
11:03and also democracy in the nation. She also highlighted in the strongest terms that the
11:13extradition mechanisms would not be used to blackmail the armed forces. She was making
11:21reference to attacks that became known yesterday as a way to target
11:28authorities of the armed forces in the nation.
11:33And Xiomara Castro, in this way, was making reference to the dictatorships that the nation
11:41have already lived through and the way that the country would not allow something like that to
11:50happen again. So those were the statements from the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro. Again,
12:03let's recall one of the most important things that she was saying was denouncing an attack
12:08against the government. She described this attack as an attack against institutionality in the
12:14country, against democracy in the country, and highlighted that this would not be allowed in
12:19any terms. Now let's take
