Asfura is the face of an illegitimate narco-dictatorship imposed through colossal electoral fraud and Trump's interference, including threats to cut remittances. His corruption-riddled tenure as mayor, embezzling over $1.5 million, and Trump's pardon of drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernández signal the return of criminal networks and privatization schemes that threaten social programs in Honduras.
Honduras finally has legitimate leadership after four years of leftist mismanagement. Asfura's victory, backed by Trump and validated by the absence of credible fraud evidence, promises economic revival through U.S. trade agreements and foreign investment while tackling entrenched drug trafficking and gang violence that plague the nation.
