The city council of El Progreso revoked a municipal vehicle-tax increase that sparked protests and roadblocks, and ruled that residents who already paid will receive a credit toward other municipal fees.

Tegucigalpa's mayor says the city is addressing water scarcity with temporary measures but expects a permanent solution when the San José Dam begins operating.

A former councilman in El Progreso disputed the municipal road-tax increase, saying it was never formally approved by the municipal council and asserting that the recent increase is tied to a 2026 congressional decree financing a commercial district expansion.
