00:00Honduras will go to the polls in a new election to choose the next president.
00:04128 members of the National Congress, 298 mayors and other local authorities in the country.
00:15The scenario for this election was previously shaped by the primary and internal elections held on March 9.
00:22The country's main political forces used these internal elections to select their official candidates
00:28as only those candidates elected in this process will be legally eligible to compete.
00:37For this crucial day, the National Electoral Council has registered approximately 6.5 million citizens
00:44eligible to vote this electoral register, including both voters resided in Honduras
00:50and members of the Honduran diaspora abroad, who will also be entitled to participate.
00:55Thousands of polling stations will be distributed nationwide, and it is essential that each
01:03voter knows the number of their polling station and the center where they are to vote.
01:08This information can be found on the official website for the CNS information platforms.
01:14Voters will receive several ballots to cast their votes simultaneously.
01:22As the process is a multiple election, the first is the ballot to elect the president and vice presidents.
01:28The additional ballots are for members of the National Congress, where marked votes or selective votes may be cast,
01:36and finally for the election of municipal corporations, that is, majors and councillors.
01:42The new government will face urgent challenges, from security to the national economy.
01:48Beyond the candidates and parties, the election will define the nation's costs for the next four years.
01:54Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump once again interfered in the Honduran election process,
02:00this time demanding votes for the opposing national party, and promising to put on former President
02:06Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of drug trafficking.
02:10In a statement made via the social network Truth Social, the president also made international
02:17aid and cooperation conditional on the victory of the national party candidate Nasser Afoura,
02:23which violates the fundamental principles of international law.
02:27Trump also announced that he will grant a full and complete pardon to former President Juan Orlando Hernández,
02:33who is currently facing a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and corruption.
02:39This episode is the latest in a campaign of interference by the international right wing to pressure for the victory
02:45of the two-party system in the November 30 elections.
02:49Thank you very much.
02:51There are some Write- ап fighting as a Vietnamese Terry Bruce in the acting congressman.
02:53I believe you came across from diving to the Naples.
