01:11In Honduras, the Liberty and Refundation Party, the Livre party, reiterated its request for the annulment of the presidential elections

01:19held on November 30th following allegations of electoral fraud perpetrated by the Honduran two-party system with the support of the U.S.

01:29At a press conference called by the Libre party, presidential candidate Risi Moncada stated that she does not recognize the election results

01:37after irregularities in the electoral transmission system confirmed the occurrence of fraud.

01:44Moncada also reiterated her denunciation of Donald Trump's external interference in the democratic process

01:51and condemned the pardon granted by the U.S. head of state to the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández

01:58convicted in Washington for drug trafficking, demanding that legal proceedings be taken against the former Honduran leader.
