Honduras Pre Electoral Update: Crises & Perspectives from the Social Movement

Honduras is facing one of the most intense pre-electoral crises in its recent history — a crisis that is deepening as election day approaches. The politically charged moment is hard to monitor, even for the most astute, regardless of whether you are following the situation closely or not. Concerns about the integrity of the electoral process are surfacing almost daily from every sector of Honduran society, as well as from international entities like the OAS and officials in the U.S. government. So, how do we understand the complexities of the situation less than 2 weeks from Honduran election day (November 30, 2025)? What are some of the key takeaways of the pre-electoral crisis that can ground our understanding of the national situation? Join us for a critical conversation hosted by CESPAD, the Honduras Solidarity Network, and Global Exchange tonight, Thursday, November 20, at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET to hear from: Gustavo Irías, Executive Director of the Center for Democracy Studies (CESPAD), a Global Exchange partner leading a 150-person national and international electoral observation mission. Gustavo will discuss the pre-electoral crisis and share CESPAD’s work documenting and clarifying what is happening on the ground. Wendy Cruz, from the campesino organization Via Campesina, will share how she, as an organizer, understands the unfolding electoral crisis from a non-partisan, social-movement perspective. Karen Spring, Honduras-based Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network (HSN). Karen has lived and worked in Honduras for over 15 years. Karen will help translate the stakes of this pre-electoral crisis in Honduras for an international audience seeking to understand why what happens in Honduras matters for the entire region — and how it shapes relations with other countries, particularly the United States. Moderated by Laura Carlsen, a U.S.–Mexico dual citizen, analyst, and journalist who directs the Mexico City–based think tank Mira Feminisms and Democracies. She specializes in gender, international relations, and Latin America, and brings decades of experience connecting grassroots movements with geopolitical analysis.
