Honduras faces a new electoral legitimacy crisis, with an uncertain vote count that revives old ghosts of institutional distrust and long-standing political tensions.

This electoral process is of crucial importance since, according to the Electoral Law, presidential elections are defined in the first round by a simple majority.
The recent cancellation announcement of the extradition agreement seems to be due to the government's knowledge that the U.S. ambassador was acting so that the American justice system would open files against officials close to the president.
While "iron fist" policies are not a novelty in Honduras, but the decision to militarize public security and the implementation of this kind of measure have aroused the concern of the international community.
