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

The document expresses absolute concern over the European Union Election Observation Mission's (EU EOM) acceptance of the 2017 Honduran general election results, which saw Juan Orlando Hernández proclaimed president. The authors argue that the EU EOM minimized electoral irregularities, such as the suspension of results disclosure on November 29, and ignored the brutal state repression of peaceful protesters, which resulted in over 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The statement highlights the illegality of Hernández's candidacy and the harassment of environmental and human rights defenders, including Berta Zuñiga of COPINH. It concludes by demanding a final report from the EU EOM that acknowledges the government's violent strategies, recognizes electoral fraud, and calls for the protection of human rights and environmental defenders.

• The authors contend that the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) declaration legitimizes the 2017 election results and the role of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), while ignoring the fact that the TSE suspended the disclosure of results for several hours on November 29.
• The document reports that the Honduran government deployed brutal violence against the population for over 20 days, leading to more than 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
• The candidacy of President Juan Orlando Hernández is described as illegal and unconstitutional, alleging that he abused his power to secure his registration despite an explicit prohibition on re-election.
• The statement highlights the targeting of environmental and social defenders, specifically mentioning the harassment of Berta Zuñiga, coordinator of the Lenca indigenous environmental organization COPINH.
