America is taking a blind eye to the tyrant in Honduras: Carrillo

Wednesday, December 20, 2017


In Honduras, President Juan Orlando Hernández, having twisted his country’s laws to allow himself to seek re-election and having presided over a vote count so suspicious that his opponents and international observers called for a new election, has now officially been pronounced the winner by the country’s discredited electoral commission.

That allows him to achieve his second, unlawful, term after all. To all of which, the administration in Washington has turned a blind eye, writes Silvio Carrillo.
