Local media outlets have also reported on X that members of the ruling party have assaulted supporters of other political parties. One such complaint was made by Liberal Party legislator Iroshka Elvir. “When we were in District 15, groups of LIBRE supporters in El Pedregal blocked the road with sticks and stones, and verbally assaulted our candidates,” Elvir said.

Ranking Member Joaquin Castro (D-TX-20) called out the White House for cutting funding to agencies that have long been involved in undermining democracy in other countries. While Castro highlighted some of the same problems as Salazar, and cast doubt about the legitimacy of the upcoming elections, he ended his opening remarks by highlighting how Hondurans are “mobilizing,” suggesting that their votes are being chiled at all.
