Hondurasgate,' the alleged US and Israeli interference plot to destabilize Mexico and other progressive governments

"One piece of evidence, released at the end of April, claims that former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, pardoned by Donald Trump from his 45-year sentence for drug trafficking with the support of the Republican president himself, his Argentine counterpart Javier Milei, and the current Honduran administration are conspiring to create a channel for disseminating fake news with the intention of spreading misinformation and destabilizing the governments of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico."

"The second installment of the Hondurasgate scandal, of the three released so far, includes a recording of an alleged conversation between Hernandez, who had become an operative in the region for the U.S. president, and the current president and vice president of Honduras, Nasry Asfura and Maria Antonieta Mejia, respectively. The objective: to undermine the administrations of Claudia Sheinbaum and Gustavo Petro, both of whom adhere to left-wing ideologies."

"In the conversation between Hernandez and Asfura, the former president tells the Honduran leader that he needs $150,000 to rent an apartment in the United States, where he plans to set up an office for a digital journalism unit. This unit will publish information about Manuel Zelaya and about Xiomara Castro, who served as president until handing power to Asfura."

Leaked audio recordings reveal alleged interventionist schemes by U.S. and Israeli interests working with Honduras to destabilize Latin American governments. Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, pardoned by Donald Trump from a drug trafficking sentence, operates as a regional operative for the U.S. president. Hernandez, alongside current Honduran leaders Nasry Asfura and Maria Antonieta Mejia, allegedly conspire to create a fake news operation targeting left-wing leaders Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico and Gustavo Petro of Colombia. The scheme involves establishing a digital journalism unit in the United States, funded partially through Argentine president Javier Milei's financial support, to disseminate misinformation and undermine these administrations.
