"If we do not strengthen in Honduras" support for civil society organizations, as well as democracy and a free press, it will not change the problem of corruption in the country, says Pedro Vieira Abramovay, regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Open Society Foundations. The lawyer referred to the corruption scandals and accusations to protect a drug trafficker in which Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has been involved. The Presidency of Honduras has denied that the president has engaged in acts of corruption and has also rejected the connection with a drug trafficker. For Vieira Abramovay, the permissiveness of former President Donald Trump with Honduras must change with the Joe Biden administration, in order to improve the civil and democratic situation in the Central American country.
