00:00And with Colombia's presidential election just around the corner, alarms are sounding over alleged foreign efforts to influence the results.
00:07The country's digital and political sovereignty is under scrutiny following the revelation of a plot that seeks to influence voters
00:13through fear.
00:14Our colleague Tatiana Portela with the details.
00:18The presidential election in Colombia is approaching shadow by growing concerns over foreign interference.
00:23International analysts are warning about the so-called Honduras Gate scandal, an alleged strategy backed by the United States and
00:30Israel in which, in addition to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, leaders such as Javier Millet would also be
00:36involved.
00:37The goal? To destabilize the country's democracy by manipulating the electorate through fear campaigns on social media.
00:46Honduras Gate, here is going to take those shapes.
00:50We have a candidate who is directly backed by Zionist capital in Colombia.
00:56Even Semana magazine says it openly here, they have no problem with it.
01:00And what is their interest? To gain a foothold here, not only to dominate politically but also to seize the
01:06natural wealth of all Latin America.
01:07They've done it before. Look at how they did it in Bolivia, and the response they are now getting there.
01:13And now they're going to say that we are orchestrating a social uprising.
01:17In Honduras, they said there was going to be a coup, and the government kept quiet, and said,
01:22no, we're not going to do anything, and they ended up carrying out the coup without they even realizing it,
01:28through the media.
01:30Precisely in response to the Honduras Gate scandal and the direct responsibility of former Honduran President Juan Hernandez,
01:36convicted and later granted pardon by Donald Trump for drug trafficking,
01:39the former magistrate of the National Electoral Council traveled to Honduras to denounce these actions at the international level.
01:46Filing a criminal complaint against Juan Hernandez in connection with the Honduras Gate case,
01:51regarding those audio recordings in which he allegedly states that he intends to carry out acts of transnational terrorism and
01:57money laundering,
01:58with funding from Milay and the government of Israel, in order to commit crimes against humanity and genocide against the
02:04left in Latin America,
02:07which he claims should be exterminated like a cancer, and in Honduras he already has lists of people who would
02:12be killed, including the Zelaya family.
02:16The reported facts cannot be left in impunity, the preparatory acts already constitute a crime that must be investigated and
02:23prosecuted by the justice system in Honduras.
02:25If this is not done, we are therefore submitting copies to the office of the prosecutor of the International Criminal
02:31Court so that the principle of complementarity may be applied.
02:35The same action has been filed in Bogota, and we will do so in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and also
02:41in the United States.
02:44According to the investigation center reveal audio recordings about the plan, it will be orchestrated by the United States government
02:50itself,
02:51a claim that does not seem far-fetched, considering that Republican congressman Bernie Moreno himself
02:56threatened the Colombian people with military intervention in the country if the progressive candidate Ivan Cepeda were to win.
03:06We can see this even in the Platt Amendment. In the early 20th century, how direct interventions by the United
03:13States have been accompanied by control over voting or by supervision of so-called democratic elections. Right?
03:23This was done in Cuba, it was done in Nicaragua, and at the beginning of the 20th century, and then
03:29it was revisited in the context of the Cold War, through more sophisticated strategies that included military assistance, so-called
03:38international cooperation, but also direct pressure to force certain changes and certain decisions on governments and electorate.
03:50Despite pressures from the United States and the open interference of far-right leaders in South America, the Colombian people
03:56are preparing to go to the polls this upcoming May 31st.
03:59On this historic day, the successor to the country's first progressive president will be elected.
