The U.S. government, through its network of front organizations, is already laying the groundwork to frame Sunday’s election in Honduras as disputed—before a single ballot has even been cast.

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.

President Maduro to Guyana’s President Ali: You Are Opening the Door to the Devil

President Maduro to Guyana’s President Ali: You Are Opening the Door to the Devil

The Venezuelan president then touched on the International Court of Justice (ICJ). He explained to Ali that going to this court of the United Nations to resolve the dispute over the Essequibo must arise from the will of both states, Guyana and Venezuela, as indicated in the 1966 Geneva Agreement, and Venezuela does not recognize this court’s right to rule on the Essequibo claim.

At that moment, Maduro brought out the list of the 119 countries that do not recognize the ICJ. As he unfolded the paper, Maduro looked at the faces of some representatives of those nations present in the room. “You, Bahamas, here you are on the list; you do not recognize that International Court,” Maduro said looking at the face of Philip Davis, prime minister of that Caribbean island. “You, Mr. Keith (Rowley), you don’t recognize the ICJ either,” he said the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago. The president closed the roll call with Irfaan Ali, whose nation likewise does not recognize the ICJ, although they went to it, in 2018, to ask it to rule on the “legal validity” of the 1899 Paris Arbitral Award, a document that placed Essequibo in the possession of Guyana which, at that time, was a British colony. Essequibo has been part of Venezuela since 1777, when the Captaincy General was founded, according to certified texts.
