The president of Honduras, Xiomara Castrosaid this Thursday that it is “unacceptable” the politicization of UN in your country, in response to the support of the representative of that body in Tegucigalpa, alice shackelfordto the director of the National Anti-Corruption Council (CNA), Gabriela Castellanos.

“The politicization of the United Nations in Honduras is unacceptable!”, Castro indicated in a brief message on the social network Twitter, while her adviser and husband, the former president Manuel Zelayawrote: “I am very sorry that @aliceshackel, who knows international law, lends himself to the ANC’s perverse political game of attacking the President @XiomaraCastroZ”.

“The entire Honduran people know the fixing role that the CNA has played in the dictatorshipZelaya added.

Castellanos, who left the country on June 18 due to threats to her and her family, returned to Tegucigalpa on Thursday and said that she did so to see the corrupt in prison.

“Our return is to see the corrupt in jail”, emphasized Castellanos at a press conference, accompanied by representatives of the European UnionUnited Nations, including alice shackelfordand various Honduran civil society organizations.

In this regard, Shackelford indicated on Twitter “All voices must be heard and involved in a country’s dialogues for its sustainable development. As @ONUHonduras we will always continue defending human rights defenders under threat, accompanying and supporting their institutions and their valuable work”.

The threats against Castellanos arose after he submitted a report on May 24 called “concentration of power”, in which the ANC noted that “the strategic positions and those that require a counterweight are directed by members of the same political structure and by members of the same family, causing institutional hoarding by a minority”.

“The nepotism that has arisen with the establishment of the new government has given the space to visualize the imminent concentration of power that is operating in the current government of the president Xiomara Castro”, the CNA then pointed out.

President Xiomara Castro immediately rejected the CNA report and said that her government and her family suffered “tendentious attacks” by the anti-corruption entity.

Castro requested in 2022 at United Nations your support to install in your country what would be a International Commission Against Impunity and Corruption in Honduras (Cicih), to curb corruption in the Central American country.
