Libre Party

A Libre congresswoman said her party opposes electoral law reforms presented to Congress this week unless Libre gains representation on the National Electoral Council and Electoral Justice Court, arguing it merits a seat as one of the three largest political forces.

A congressman from the Libre party has proposed a law to establish workplace rights and safety protections for women engaged in paid sex work, addressing what he says is a regulatory gap that has left them vulnerable to discrimination and violence.

Ronald Panchamé, head of the Libre congressional bloc, announced the party will present a counterproposal to the government's electric-sector reform bill currently under discussion.

José Manuel Zelaya Rosales, who resigned as defense minister in 2024 after a video implicated his father in meetings with drug traffickers, now works as an advisor to a Libre city councilor in Tegucigalpa, the mayor confirmed.

A Libre congressman argues that collecting millions owed by large corporations to the state electricity utility ENEE would shore up its finances and make privatization unnecessary, and has called for public disclosure of the major delinquent accounts.

The opposition LIBRE party faction says the government's draft energy reform is privatization disguised as modernization and is calling for a popular referendum, arguing that Hondurans—not lawmakers or private interests—should decide the future of the state-owned utility ENEE.
