Honduras TSE Concerned With Drug Trafficking Influence

The Electoral Supreme Court (TSE) and members of the National Council for the Fight Against Narcotics Trafficking (CNLCN) have met to discuss Honduras’s image in relation to drug trafficking and politicians.

The President of the TSE, Enrique Ortez, expressed his concern that drug trafficking and organized crime, if not suppressed, could interfere in Honduran politics. Appointed president and chairman of the CNLCN, Victor Hugo Barnica, confirmed they are looking to avoid what has happened in Mexico and Colombia, with the infiltration of resources from organized crime entering the political arena.

The groups discussed how to handle reports of corrupt politicians being bribed by drug lords, and the establishment of procedures for investigation.
