Anticorruption

An anticorruption council and civil-society coalition submitted a package of 87 electoral reforms covering constitutional changes, election administration, political financing, and electoral crimes, including runoff elections, citizen poll observers, and early voting for disabled voters.

Honduras's anticorruption chief has called for negotiations between prosecutors, ZEDE representatives, and authorities to determine how to implement a Supreme Court ruling that declared the special economic zones unconstitutional, as the attorney general weighs legal action if operations continue.

The National Anticorruption Council director said the Public Ministry failed to prove its case against former president Juan Orlando Hernández, citing the absence of a key witness and saying Honduras's justice system has lost public trust.
