A disputed election in Honduras has turned into the worst unrest the country has faced since a coup in 2009. The opposition accuses President Hernandez of not getting the number of votes needed to be re-elected, no matter what the official results say. Protesters want a full recount. In an attempted show of force, Hernandez enacted a state of emergency, but the police are refusing to impose it. A spokesman says guards will not follow government orders that violate human rights. So, could this crisis bring the president’s political career to an end?
Global Americans Program Manager Victoria Gaytan discusses the Honduran election results with Gina Kawas, the Corporate Relations Director at the Foundation for Education in Honduras and Latin American Analyst Javier Farje on The Newsmakers on TRT world.
