00:00We are live in Honduras, presidential candidate for the Liberal Party,
00:08Luisa Moncadio, suffering statements in a rally in Tegucigalpa. Let's listen.
00:12We are here fraternally to demand in peace and democracy.
00:26This Sunday, November 30th, to seal a new victory of the party of the people, of the Liberty
00:43and Refoundation Party, a new victory of dignity, of freedom, of peace.
00:58Because we are a party of the left, but peaceful and democratic, with solidarity and just.
01:11And today, our presence here is very special.
01:23I have been all over Honduras.
01:26I have hugged all of you.
01:30I have seen all of you in every community.
01:33I have been in the Maya people.
01:38I have visited the Tawakas.
01:40I have visited the Talbaneses.
01:44I have visited our brothers, our Lankas brothers.
01:50We have been with our biscuits, with our Afro-descendants, with the Carifunas.
02:03I have been all over the country to see the youth that is vibrant,
02:17that is integrating little by little to this project of revolution and homeland,
02:26that today I lead with a very high honor in the name of the people of Honduras.
02:45Yesterday I was.
02:55Yesterday I was in El Copán, in the city of Santa Rosa.
03:05The people were ready in the masses.
03:10It was serene, secure of the construction of this new victory.
03:17Today in the morning, surely you looked.
03:24We were in Santa Barbara, the birthplace of the Honduran resistance.
03:34There we greeted the hundreds and thousands of Pateplumas that, like in all of the departments of Honduras,
03:46congregated themselves united and reached to the department's head to share our message, the center of the department.
04:00And today, in this afternoon, that is very fresh of revolution, of youths, of family, that have moved from all of their hometowns.
04:24And have had the opportunity, and they have come down from their mountains and their hills, from the deepest towns of Honduras, from the neighborhoods that are in the outsides of Tegucigalpa.
04:42It is truly a privilege to be able to talk and address you in this afternoon.
04:52Thank you very much for your support.
04:54Thank you for your love.
04:58Thank you for your warm regards, for your commitment with this homeland that hurts all of us, that pains all of us as well.
05:14Thank you for your love.
05:21But together, with joy, together, with security, we will lead it again on Sunday, November 30th, to a new victory that is popular.
05:40Today, I was telling them in Santa Barbara.
05:50Today, I was telling them in Santa Barbara.
05:54Today, I was telling them in Santa Barbara.
06:16Sixteen years ago.
06:20Sixteen years ago.
06:22Honduras was shocked.
06:28But it was shocked even more the oligarchy and the power groups.
06:36Sixteen years ago.
06:41They were shocked when the President Manuel Zelaya, in the government of the citizen power, proposed a project for the people.
06:51And its participation.
06:55They were shocked when the government of the citizen power told them.
07:03The people must be listened.
07:05We're going to the first popular consultation of the history of Honduras for the people to pronounce themselves.
07:17They didn't resist the people talking.
07:21They couldn't resist.
07:22They couldn't resist that the people went that Sunday to the voting polls to put their votes for the process of deepening the democracy in Honduras through the installation of the fourth voting.
07:35They made their calls.
07:49And since they're very little.
07:51And since they're very little.
07:53They made their phone calls.
07:55They took their rifles.
08:00They raised all of their weapons.
08:04They used the inheritance.
08:11The soldiers of Morasan.
08:15And they turned them into criminals.
08:18They went to the house of the president.
08:22And they carried him out without any pity.
08:27They killed him.
08:29And they broke the constitutional order.
08:32And they changed the destiny of thousands of families that today with hope are again here building homeland.
08:45That is the resistance.
08:48That is our myth of origin.
08:52That is where we come from.
08:54From that cruel hit that sinked us in poverty.
09:03That sunk us in violence.
09:05That turned us into a narco state.
09:11That sacrificed thousands of young people.
09:15And attacked teachers.
09:17That chased social communicators.
09:20We all saw the blood of our comrades.
09:24We were the witness of the persecution.
09:29And there we had our first lady resisting.
09:35Fighting together with the people.
09:40To redo the democratic order.
09:44Together with her.
09:46The sadness.
09:48The despair.
09:50The pain.
09:52That then was turned into glory.
09:56It turned into fight.
09:58In resistance.
10:00And in battles.
10:02And today.
10:0420 days from the elections.
10:08Unites us here.
10:10In this popular field.
10:12Public.
10:14For all of the people.
10:18That's how the resistance was born.
10:22That is our myth of origin.
10:25That is the revolutionary force that pushes us.
10:29And like that.
10:33Was born.
10:35The liberty party.
10:37And we were to the first election.
10:39In 2013.
10:41And what happened in 2013.

25:08May.
25:09The rich.
25:10Cars.
25:11One day.
25:12Not day or night, not rain, not that sundown, not even the sun.
25:30No condition of the weather or the climate will stop this process of revolution that is being carried forward.
26:00Chochi Sousa vibrates. It is a concert. It is a concert, a popular concert of conscience, of fight and of battle.
26:20Chochi Sousa is vibrating because we all know from here to where we are going, to our peoples, to our towns, to wait for Sunday, November 30th.
26:46But before leaving, before leaving,
26:58before going back to your hometown,
27:16you should take a clear message and the message, the clear message is,
27:25which today is the proposal, which is the proposal of the next president of Honduras.
27:36The proposal is to democratize the economy,
27:48to deprivatize the money that is in the banks,
27:54and put it at the service of the Honduran people,
27:59of the producers of the countryside,
28:03of the micro, the small and the middle businessmen.
28:09The proposal is to eliminate the risk central for their,
28:19so they won't ever be, again,
28:28to eliminate the risk central for their never again.
28:37Never again.
28:40In one of those banks,
28:42they tell you that they can give you a credit or a loan because you are in that central,
28:51which is a mechanism of the oligarchy to negate the access to the money,
28:58to the people and reserve it only for them.
29:03Down the interest,
29:06we have to lower the interest of the private banks and put this country to produce.
29:14We have, we have thousands of businessmen in all of the country that are fighting every day,
29:26but they are up to here because of the interest in the bank.
29:34We have to lower the interest of the banks and put that money at the service of the development
29:41and the transformation of Honduras,
29:44a revolution, a fiscal revolution.
29:48All should pay taxes, but those who have the most, they should pay more.
29:57The rich people in Honduras have to pay taxes for their richness, for their riches.
30:06It is not fair that they are exonerated in over 60,000 million.
30:17That exoneration is also called a pardon,
30:23and that pardon was approved by the Bipartisanship Alliance.
30:32The Nationalist Liberal Party approved that pardon in the Congress.
30:3940 laws were made for them so they wouldn't pay taxes.
30:45We occupied to approve the tax justice law,
30:54already a law of tax justice.
31:10Our proposal,
31:15a universal scholarship to all of the young people who want to go to university,
31:22and don't have the resources to support the mothers,
31:27the families with their children,
31:30to break the cycle, the poverty cycle,
31:33by giving them an opportunity.
31:36Free healthcare, more hospitals, more medicines,
31:41free education and attention for our elderly.
31:53We want to reach the universe of our elderly to the men and women that gave everything in this life,
32:08that no longer have forces to work,
32:13but that once they also betted on building a homeland,
32:18and they also worked,
32:20and today they are in abandonment to our elderly.
32:26we will also have a space in our government.
32:31Our proposal,
32:36our proposal for the migrants,
32:41get ready to return to Honduras,
32:47and you reunite with your families,
32:50because here we are going to create opportunities of life for all of you,
32:55especially for the youth.
32:59Hundreds of migrants are watching us and are listening to us today,
33:08and their yearning is our yearning as well.
33:13Their anguish for being away from their families is also our anguish.
33:21All of the Honduran families have migrants and immigrants,
33:28immigrants that were expelled by this system that is unfair and cumulative,
33:36who are the responsible.
33:47Those few that have two candidates,
33:53Arrala Salun and Furasabla,
33:57they're two, but they're more of the same.
34:01They are the ones of the coup.
34:04They are of the 12 years and the 7 months.
34:07They are the ones of the narco-dictatorship,
34:10of the public and private corruption,
34:14of the looting,
34:16of the privatization of our resources.
34:20They are the same.
34:22To those who are the same,
34:25we say from Chochi Sosa,
34:28with the great investment that our government has in sports,
34:35in all of the country,
34:37from Chochi Sosa,
34:40today,
34:42very well painted,
34:45recovered,
34:47at the service of the whole city,
34:51and from here we say,
34:53you will not come back.
34:56The resistance has its candidate.
35:03The Honduran people has its candidate.
35:08And its candidate is a professor of the public service,
35:15a lawyer,
35:17a just lawyer of the courts,
35:21a woman that,
35:24for 40 years,
35:26has given the service to this country,
35:31with the same faith,
35:34with the same hope,
35:36with the same strength,
35:38with the same loyalty,
35:41that you do today.
35:44You're seeing it today,
35:58this collectives,
36:00and our collectives,
36:05our collectives,
36:10must be,
36:13.
36:43Well, we will listen to the statements of the presidential candidate for the Liberal
36:54Party in Honduras, Risse Moncara, who was addressing a crowd gathering there in Tegul
36:59Sugalpa, in a rally very important, providing very strong words, giving a brief recount
37:04of the history of the coup that derailed democracy in the country in Honduras, starting in 2009,
37:10followed up in 2013, and then in 2017, once more, until finally the Honduran people were
37:16able to recover the democratic rule of law with the election of President Xiomara Castro
37:20in 2021. The presidential candidate, Risse Moncara, went over the success of the four-year
37:26terms of Xiomara Castro, as is showing, according to all international finance institutions that
37:32show that Honduras has one of the best indicators it has had in the last 20 years in both economic
37:38growth and also in the security, with the reduction of over 21 percent of homicides in the country.
37:45And she also very quickly went over to talking to the people to take the message across the country
37:51of the program that they are going to be working for the Honduran people, they're going to be
37:55increasing the scope of universal scholarships and free healthcare, among many other important
38:01reforms they're going to do in the tax systems as well and in the banking system. For now, stay tuned
38:06with Tresor English for more information.
