** Update on Honduras, One Year After Election of President Xiomara Castro
------------------------------------------------------------


** Democracy Now Interview, December 09, 2022

------------------------------------------------------------
It has been nearly one year since Xiomara Castro was sworn in as Honduras’s new president. Her inauguration in January marked the end of a brutal 12-year period of rule by the U.S.-[and Canadian] backed, right-wing National Party, which first came to power after the 2009 U.S.-[and Canadian] backed coup that overthrew Castro’s husband, the leftist President Manuel Zelaya.

Xiomara Castro replaced Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was extradited to the United States in April to face drug trafficking and firearms charges.

During the years after the coup, violence soared in Honduras, as did the number of refugees fleeing the country for safety.

We get an update from Gerardo Torres Zelaya, the vice minister of foreign affairs of Honduras, who is in New York for an event with the Progressive International to discuss developing a New International Economic Order. “There is another way of understanding economics,” he says, noting that Castro’s work to end neoliberal policies of her predecessor shows she “does not believe that wealth is only for a few people.”
