Déclaration à l’opinion publique internationale au sujet de la déclaration de la Mission d’observation électorale de l’Union européenne au Honduras
Summary
Friends of the Earth Europe and Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean criticize the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) for legitimizing the 2017 Honduran general election results, which saw Juan Orlando Hernández declared president despite allegations of fraud and constitutional violations.
Key insights
- Friends of the Earth Europe and Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean argue that the EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) statement legitimizes the 2017 general election results, justifies the actions of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), and minimizes reported irregularities.
- The document asserts that Juan Orlando Hernández's candidacy was illegal and unconstitutional because the Constitution of the Republic explicitly prohibits reelection, yet he used his power to obtain a decree allowing his candidacy with the consent of the TSE.
- The statement reports that the Honduran government responded to peaceful protests against electoral fraud with brutal repression for over twenty days, using tear gas and gunfire, resulting in more than twenty deaths and hundreds of injuries.
- Friends of the Earth demands that the EU EOM's final report document the violent repression used by the government, recognize electoral irregularities—including the suspension of results on November 29—and place the burden of proof for fraud on the TSE rather than the accusers.
