Pronunciamiento a la opinión pública internacional ante la declaración de la Misión de Observación Electoral de la Unión Europea en Honduras

A statement by Friends of the Earth Europe and Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean expressing concern over the European Union Election Observation Mission's (EU EOM) declaration regarding the 2017 general elections in Honduras, which legitimized the victory of Juan Orlando Hernández.

• Friends of the Earth International members criticize the EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) for legitimizing the 2017 Honduran general election results and the victory of Juan Orlando Hernández. They argue the EU EOM's declaration justifies the actions of the Tribunal Supremo Electoral (TSE) and minimizes irregularities, such as the suspension of results disclosure on November 29.
• The document asserts that the candidacy of President Juan Orlando Hernández was illegal and unconstitutional, claiming he abused his power to secure his registration despite an explicit prohibition on re-election in the Constitution of the Republic, a move supported by the TSE.
• The statement reports severe state repression against citizens protesting electoral fraud, including the imposition of a state of siege and curfew. This violence allegedly resulted in over 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries over a period of more than 20 days, including the harassment of Berta Zuñiga of the COPINH.
• Friends of the Earth requests that the EU EOM publish a final report that documents the government's violent repression, recognizes electoral irregularities, demands that the TSE bear the burden of proof regarding fraud, and calls for the protection of human, environmental, and social rights defenders.
