The National Coordination of the Libre Party of Honduras, and its presidential candidate, Rixi Moncada, have denounced the ongoing “electoral coup” in Honduras, confirmed through the manipulation of the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP) in its source code.
They emphatically declared to the international community that the Libre Party is requesting the complete annulment of the elections held the previous week—whose manipulated results declared Nasry Asfura, the businessman handpicked by Donald Trump, the winner—and demanding an “investigation of the acts of electoral terrorism carried out through the TREP,” Moncada stated.
“We condemn the interference and coercion of U.S. President Donald Trump in the Honduran elections,” is the first statement from the party of current President Xiomara Castro, in response to what they consider evidence of a textbook electoral coup.
The party asserted that yesterday, December 6, during the plenary session of the National Electoral Council (CNE), it was demonstrated that the TREP’s source code had been manipulated. Without using the three keys and behind the backs of the technicians, the software was altered and compromised, violating electoral law and security protocols. Libre maintains that this coup is an “attack on national sovereignty.”
During the plenary session, violations were confirmed in the vote counting, tallying, and reporting modules: 5,000 tally sheets with zero results, inconsistencies in 95.17% of the transmitted tally sheets related to the biometric system, 4,659 tally sheets without biometric backups, and constant website crashes, indicating interference with the original software, the party’s statement explained.
Libre asserts that the reporting pages remain altered and have not been updated for three consecutive days, and added another allegation: possible direct connections within the National Electoral Council’s Preliminary Results Transmission System (TREP) from the National Party, who allegedly facilitated the manipulation of the election results.
“Libre does not recognize the elections held under the interference and coercion of the President of the United States and the allied oligarchy, who have attacked the people with an ongoing electoral coup, after sending millions of messages through different platforms, threatening the people that if they voted for Rixi Moncada, they would not receive their remittances in December,” the party stated.
Along the same lines as denouncing the coup, Moncada asserted that her party condemns the pardon granted by Donald Trump to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández—sentenced to 45 years in prison in the U.S.—within the framework of the Honduran electoral process. This pardon casts a shadow over the entire electoral process due to the corrupt and drug-trafficking legacy of the former president, a legacy reflected in the National Party candidate, Nasry Asfura, whom Trump publicly endorsed just days before the elections.
“We have ordered that foreign interference and the crime of treason against the nation be denounced before the UN, the OAS, CELAC, and other international organizations for supplanting and distorting popular sovereignty,” Libre announced.
The party called on its members to participate in sit-ins, demonstrations, protests, and marches against the electoral fraud and coup, and asserted that its highest authority is its Extraordinary National Assembly, scheduled to convene on December 13.
