00:00Welcome to Telesur English in Honduras.

00:04After several hours of protest in front of the electoral body of citizens demanding transparency

00:09and the end of the United States' interference in its electoral process,

00:12in the last hours tensions have been aggravated.

00:15Public order forces have wanted to extinguish the protest.

00:20In this context, police evicted as citizens sitting, asking for vote by vote counting,

00:25outside of the National Electoral Council.

00:27The use of water tanks and tear gas shots has been reported.

00:31Our correspondent, Karim, with the details.

00:33Let's see.

00:43This thing that's supposed to be a pacifical protest has evolved to a thousand more violent.

00:54How this happens?

00:57What happened was that police, the people have fired up tires in the street so that the transport,

01:12the public transport didn't come through and the police, the police came, national police came out.

01:24And out of the transportation, out of the transportation, out of the transportation building,

01:42And they started to turn out the fire.

01:49And they came with water tanks and they attacked violently.

01:57With water tanks, the Honduran people that were opposing to the militarization and the actions of the police.

02:10It is important to highlight that it is a direct order of Manuel Zelaya, the former president and candidate, Richie Moncada.

02:22So this way they were attacking the Honduran people that were demanding.

02:29They revived the scenery of 2017 of the narco-dictator when the police attacked violently and inhumanly to the citizens that were protested.

02:44It is important also to highlight that this is the first time that the administration of Xiomara Castro,

02:51that is this kind of action that is not approved and that is important that officials pronounce in this action.

03:09So there is a complicity, a silence complicity that some of the protesters doesn't know why they are being attacked.

03:21Also a second water panel with all violence that passed through the trenches of the protesters.

03:37They also launched tear gas.

03:44It is also the first tear gas that has been launched during this administration.

03:50Also in a very violent way, they captured some persons.

03:54The national police also destroyed several vehicles, motorcycles, and also with stones.

04:02They destroyed what it is, the camp of the defense of the sovereignty.

04:08Oaxaca was able to get out.

04:13So at this moment there is not official pronunciation.

04:20It is suspected that the police coordinator came out to clarify this situation.

04:30So that was supposed to be a pacific mobilization ended with tear gas violence to the protesters and above all to the people that is tired.

04:42So there is an electoral coup on progress and above all the candidate who are doing it with Jorge Aldana.

04:58They already did it with the president candidate, President Ishimon Kada and now they are doing it with Aldana.

05:05Let's remember that these are live images happening right now in Honduras.

05:27That is something that is happening as the people were protesting in front of the National Electoral Council for a recount of vote in Honduras.

05:37In the morning, we continued listening to our correspondent, Karim, that is in the place.

05:48So in the morning, the police was also there, but they didn't attack the Honduran people.

05:55Let's remember that Honduran people are protesting because they are being robbed the popular democracy.

06:08So in the evening, they came out to turn out the flames.

06:14So we know that when there is a mobilization, they took to the streets and they don't allow the passage of vehicles.

06:24So the transit is minimal at this time.

06:32So transit search for alternate routes.

06:37So we don't know who gave the order at this time to use water tanks.

06:43And they wanted to turn out the fires.

06:54And the Honduran people told them, we are not coming through.

06:58Why do you have to come with a democratic, peaceful activity?

07:06We are here demanding that the popular will is respected.

07:13But they came and they wanted to attack the people in a cowardly way.

07:22They started to attack.

07:26The police started to throw stones.

07:30And they came out with violence, with a lot of violence.

07:35The people who came, there were around 300 to 400 people demanding the recount of votes.

07:47So it is important to mention that there are several detenives.

07:52And that is information that we have been receiving.

07:58Because the national police came after them.

08:02And the person who didn't move, the person who didn't move were repressed.

08:07And they also attacked the private property, the vehicles of several protesters who were there.

08:21So I'm watching the X account and there is no unofficial statement coming from the officials.

08:46This is what's been happening at this time in the evening.

08:50The people continue to be upset with what is happening and are waiting for answers.

08:56Because there's the return of democracy in 2022.

09:00Nothing like this has been happening before.

09:10And these are the details with our correspondent, Karim,

09:13about the scenes that are developing right now in Honduras.

09:17With the attacks of political forces against the Honduran people that were protesting

09:22and demanding the recount of votes in front of the national electoral council.

09:27We will keep you informed about this and more information in our coming news brief.
