Latin America’s political mood is moving right as voters punish governments that fail to deliver, but local contexts and individual leaders shape how this trend plays out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/09/world/year-of-the-right-looms-for-latin-america/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #latinamerica #joseantoniokast #javiermilei #nicolasmaduro #donaldtrump #nayibbukele #gustavopetro #luizinacioluladasilva #sebastianpinera #claudiasheinbaum #chile #argentina #venezuela #elsalvador #ecuador #honduras #costarica #peru #colombia #brazil #mexico

so both candidates in #Honduras are claiming victory and accusing the other of fraud
the website of the CNE, the National Council of Elections who are supposed to handle the vote counting but controlled by the far right US backed Partido National has been down since yesterday afternoon, they were supposed to announce the results yesterday night.
The CNE now says it can take up to five days for the votes to come out. The left wing candidate Rixie refused to concede and says she knows exactly how the election was stolen and will fight it in court.
#Trump clearly wants his candidate Papi to win and have threatened sanctions and other retaliation if he doesn't. He also promised to release the convicted #NarcoTerrorist Juan Orlando Hernandez

The two candidates in the Honduran election this year:
- Fascist Nasry Asfura, backed by Trump
- Centrist former TV presenter Salvador Nasralla
are both of Palestinian origins... so surreal to see how the different aspects of Palestinian society refract in the diaspora.

Sick, but, at this pont, expected.
From a U.S. prison cell, Honduras' ex-president secured a likely pardon for drug trafficking thanks to a letter he penned praising President Trump — whom he called "Your Excellency" — and a persistent lobbying campaign by longtime Trump pal Roger Stone.
