Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded December 7th and 10th, 2025
More than a week past the presidential elections in Honduras and the winner is still uncertain. One sure thing though is the further damage this poll has done to the country’s already fragile democratic bone fides. Starting with Donald Trump’s overt meddling, (and pardon-granting to former Honduran president and convicted drugs trafficker, Juan Orlando Hernández) through the technological election-night clown show, leading to the current national squabble over wide-spread vote-counting irregularities, determining electoral legitimacy at the end of all this will be the first, Herculean task of whomever takes over.
Karen Spring is the Honduras-based Coordinator for the Honduras Solidarity Network, who describe themselves as a, “… decentralized network of approximately 30 organizations from across Canada and the United States […] committed to demonstrating and advocating for solidarity with the Honduran social movement.” Spring is also the author of numerous articles and reports regarding human rights issues, of which she’s testified before Canadian Parliamentary committees. Her writing can be found at her website, aquiabajo.com.
Karen Spring and from fiasco to farce for Honduran’s presidential election.
