Déclaration à l’opinion publique internationale au sujet de la déclaration de la Mission d’observation électorale de l’Union européenne au Honduras

Friends of the Earth Europe and Latin America and Caribbean denounce the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) for legitimizing the 2017 Honduran general election results. The organization argues that the EU EOM minimized electoral irregularities and ignored the brutal state repression of peaceful protesters. They contend that President Juan Orlando Hernández's candidacy was unconstitutional and call for the EU EOM's final report to document human rights violations and the role of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) in the alleged fraud.

• The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) is accused of legitimizing the 2017 general election results and the role of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), while minimizing reported irregularities and shifting the burden of proof onto those alleging fraud.
• The Honduran government is described as a totalitarian state that employed brutal repression, including tear gas and gunfire, against peaceful protesters for over twenty days, resulting in more than twenty deaths and hundreds of injuries.
• The candidacy of Juan Orlando Hernández is characterized as illegal and unconstitutional because the Constitution of the Republic explicitly prohibits re-election, a restriction bypassed via a decree and the consent of the TSE.
• The document highlights the harassment of environmental and social justice defenders, specifically mentioning the detention of Berta Zúñiga, daughter of Berta Cáceres and coordinator of the Lenca indigenous organization COPINH.
