Elections in Venezuela and Honduras: Two Sides of the Same Coin — Minted in Washington
Posted on December 25, 2025 by Curro Jimenez

Unsurprisingly, the electoral commission in Honduras has declared the Trump-backed candidate, “Tito” Nasry Asfura, as the winner of the presidential elections by a margin of less than one percent, over Salvador Nasralla.

The election of Asfura represents a continuation of a U.S.-backed coup in 2009, which installed a “narco regime” in power, as described by the U.S. Department of Justice. Asfura belongs to the same party as the former president, Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been re-elected unconstitutionally for a second mandate in 2017, during Trump’s first term, and who was later convicted in the U.S. for drug trafficking and recently pardoned by Trump.
