Juan Orlando Hernandez, funded according to US court docs by cartel money, who also stole pension money, is governing from his second term. What happened to all the NGOs, ed boards and US pols who said Honduran leaders have to abide by a 1-term presidency? theguardian.com/world/2015/apr…
There’s an obvious double standard about term limits from major US media on Latin America, ignoring issue for right wing parties, and it’s again used to justify the coup against Evo Morales. There are fair minded critiques of his gov/party but he was legally allowed to run.
