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.

Since the election of Hugo Chávez in 1998 Washington has waged a relentless war against the Bolivarian revolution. The Trump administration continues to deploy political, economic and military measures aimed at the overthrow of Venezuela’s government and the reversal of advances in regional independence and integration: the two pillars of the Bolivarian cause. At the present juncture, it is critically important to make no mistake about Washington’s duplicitous policy towards the Maduro administration of simultaneous negotiation and intensifying aggression. This aggression is not a mere show to placate the Trump administration’s hard line anti-Chavista allies in Miami; it is an imminent threat to Venezuela’s national security and part of a strategy to recuperate U.S. domination of the Americas.

In this context, we call on all political and social actors to exercise maximum caution and restraint in his demonstrations and public events in order to avoid an escalation of violent episodes.

“The evidence shows an effort by the [Biden] regime to ignore the will of the majority expressed in the polls by millions of Venezuelan men and women,” the report said.
Why do United Nations human rights bodies focus on some countries, but not others? Why do organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International appear to ignore important evidence presented to them? And why do the media repeat stories of human rights abuses without questioning their veracity?
The first steps of a path aimed at improving ties between the US and Venezuela have been abandoned. Washington has reimposed sanctions on Caracas and threatened more. Venezuelan officials say the country will block deportation flights from the US.
