HONDURAS: Doubts surround electoral process
The cardinal archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, this week called for general elections in Honduras on 26 November to be conducted “with respect and without violence”. Rodríguez Maradiaga is one of the region’s pre-eminent ecclesiastical figures, who frequently infuses his Masses with political commentary. Despite his claims that “very important steps” had been taken by the supreme electoral tribunal (TSE) to ensure the transparency of the electoral process, however, grave concerns persist.
