00:24sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking.

01:12a president of the United States is sending two messages in support of the two bipartisan candidates,

01:18I can only respond in one way, you are defeated, president.

01:22Your puppet candidates did not measure up.

01:26And since he is defeated,

01:32he had to break the election's silence to hold to campaign events against the resistance candidate,

01:41who is fully supported by the Honduran people and her proposal to democratize the economy.

01:46He had to do two events in front of a candidate who is supported by the people,

01:52who has her origins in the people,

01:58who defends the working class,

02:02who defends teachers,

02:05who seeks the development and transformation of Honduras

02:08through a proposal that requires everyone to pay taxes,

02:12that a tax justice law be passed,

02:16that a credit registry be eliminated that prevents U.S. from obtaining credit

02:20and impedes the development of our people.
