Key changes from last month Political outlook • Existing tensions within the government have been exacerbated by Mr Zelaya’s perceived desire to foster closer relations with the administration of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. Failure on the part of Mr Zelaya to change the direction of his foreign policy in response to the misgivings of some ministers could lead to a cabinet crisis in the coming months. Economic policy outlook • Following a strong improvement in the public finances in the first half of the year, we have revised down our estimate for the budget deficit in 2006. We expect the central government deficit to narrow to 0.3% of GDP in 2006, before increasing to an average of 0.6% of GDP in 2007, and further to 1.1% of GDP in 2008 as government expenditure is stretched to meet spending commitments. Economic forecast • After estimated growth of 5.2% in 2006, we expect growth to slow in 2007- 08, to an annual average of 3.9%, in line with slower growth in the US. Relatively robust domestic demand and high oil prices will result in strong import growth, keeping the current-account deficit wide.

With just 62 of the 128 seats in Congress, compared with 55 for the Partido Nacional (PN), the government is reliant on the support of other parties to pass legislation. A government priority in 2007-08 will be to agree an IMF-World Bank poverty reduction and growth facility (PRGF) to replace the PRGF that expires in early 2007. Honduras will benefit from debt relief under the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) initiative during 2007-08. Annual GDP growth will average 3.9% in 2007-08, while inflation is forecast to average 4.8%. The exchange rate will stay broadly stable in real terms against the US dollar. An increasing trade deficit as a result of strong, investment-driven import demand will cause the current-account deficit to remain wide in 2007-08, although gains made in the services account from the buoyant maquila (offshore assembly for re-export) and tourism industries will help to offset the effect of continued strong demand for imports. The political scene After nearly eight months in office, Mr Zelaya is facing a deteriorating political environment, in which the government’s lack of a majority, confrontation with political allies, a controversial foreign policy and growing social tensions threaten to disrupt government effectiveness. Economic policy The public finances underwent a sharp year-on-year improvement in the first half of 2006, with the central government recording a surplus as a result of expenditure restraint and strong revenue growth. Despite the improved fiscal performance, there are concerns over the potential impact on the public finances of government fuel subsidies and public-sector pay increases. The domestic economy In the first six months of 2006 the Indice Mensual de la Actividad Económica (IMAE, the monthly index of economic activity), a proxy for GDP growth, expanded by 5.4%, compared with 3.8% in the same period of 2005, led by growth in the construction and banking sectors. Foreign trade and payments In the first seven months of 2006 the merchandise trade deficit widened by 23.2% year on year, as growth in import spending continued to outstrip increases in export earnings. Remittances by Honduran workers abroad and value-added earnings by the maquila (offshore assembly for re-export) industry helped to offset much of the trade deficit.

Degree awarded September 2020. ii © 2020 Alberto Lioy iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Alberto Lioy Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science September 2020 Title: Electoral Revolutions: A Comparative Study of Rapid Changes in Voter Turnout In the political science scholarship on democratic elections, aggregate voter turnout is assumed to be stable, and depends upon an acquired habit across the electorate. Large turnout variations in a short period of time are therefore usually attributed to negligible contextual factors. This work establishes that such variations are more frequent than commonly thought and creates a novel theoretical framework and methodological approach for systematically studying rapid changes in voter turnout across Western Europe and Latin America. I attribute dramatic changes in voters’ participation, labeled electoral revolutions, to transformations in the party system competition and institutional credibility happening inside the national political context.

  • Elecciones Autoritarias En Honduras: El Fin De La Tercera Ola De Democratizaciones
    Elecciones autoritarias en Honduras: el fin de la tercera ola de democratizaciones WILLlBAID SONNLEITNER* RESUMEN: l .as elecciones de 2009 en Honduras marcan un quiebre importante en el proceso político de este pais centroamericano. Más allá de la tragedia que representa la interrupción violenta del proceso de democratización hondureño, el episoclio surrealista de unas elecciones organizadas por un régimen defacto para regularizar un golpe de Estado, también sienta un antecedente negativo para el futuro de la democracia en América Latina. Pese al rechazo unánime del golpe de Estado del 28 de junio y a la fuerte presión internacional para restituir al presidente constitucional Manuel Zelaya, varios países americanos reconocieron los comicios de noviembre. Tres décadas después del inicio de la «tercera ola de democratizaciones", el movimiento sostenido de construcción de ciudadaIÚa y de expansión del sufragio universal parece alcanzar, así, sus limites.

    Honduran-U.S. Relations Peter J. Meyer Analyst in Latin American Affairs April 25, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34027 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Honduran-U.S. Relations Summary Porfirio Lobo was inaugurated president of Honduras in January 2010, assuming power after seven months of domestic political crisis and international isolation that had resulted from the June 2009 ouster of President Manuel Zelaya. While the strength of Lobo’s National Party in the legislature has enabled his administration to pass much of its policy agenda, Lobo has had limited success in resolving the many challenges facing Honduras. Efforts to foster political reconciliation, for example, have helped Honduras secure international recognition but have only partially diminished domestic polarization. Lobo is relatively unpopular halfway through his four- year term, as 68% of Hondurans believe he has done little to resolve the public’s demands. The poor security and human rights situation in Honduras has continued to deteriorate under President Lobo. Honduras has one of the highest homicide rates in the world, and common crime remains widespread. Moreover, human rights abuses—which increased significantly in the aftermath of Zelaya’s ouster—have persisted. A number of inter-related factors have likely contributed to this situation, including the increasing presence of organized crime, weak government institutions, and widespread corruption. Although the government has adopted a number of policy reforms designed to address these challenges, conditions have yet to improve. Lobo also inherited a weak economy with high levels of poverty and inequality. Honduras suffered an economic contraction of 2.1% in 2009 as a result of the combined impact of the global financial crisis and domestic political crisis.

    HONDURAS SEEKS A NEW SOCIAL CONTRACT Tjark Marten Egenhoff At first glance, the political crisis in Honduras seemed reminiscent of the coups in Latin America of the 1960s and 1970s. However, on closer inspec- tion, things turned out to be far more complicated and contradictory. The military was acting under orders from the Supreme Court. With help from the Liberal Party of the now ousted president, Manuel Zelaya, the National Con- gress elected Roberto Micheletti as new President, since under the constitu- tion Micheletti, the President of the National Congress, was next in line. And yet the military coup that illegally deposed the president and sent him into exile to Costa Rica is a clear constitutional violation. The fact that the inter- national community raised objections and imposed sanctions is encouraging, in light of memories of the many coups that have plagued Latin America’s history. However, the events leading up to the coup have only been taken into account as time has passed. The crisis in Honduras has brought to the fore political and social divisions and increasing political polarization, warning signals that have to be taken seriously by the entire region. Democracies in Central America are under enormous pressure to tackle pressing social issues and at the same time to create political structures that enable sufficient par- ticipation and have sufficient power to overcome problems. Trust in democ- ratic institutions has been eroded to such an extent that every political alter- native – even those alien to the system – is being considered. The Honduran crisis is an example of how perceptions and the interpretation of events is subject to media conditioning.

  • A Manera De Introducción…
    A manera de introducción… odo empezó como un simple ejercicio exploratorio, haciendo análisis de contexto para suplir insumos a las discusiones colecti- T vas que entonces solíamos celebrar en nuestras oficinas del Cen- tro de Documentación (CEDOH). Eran los inicios de la década de los años noventa; gobernaba el país Rafael Leonardo Callejas, el primer presidente nacionalista (vale decir del partido Nacional) en la época de la transición política hacia la democracia. Lo que empezó como práctica ocasional, muy pronto se volvió costumbre, rutina periódica que me obligaba a escribir un “análisis de contexto” cada mes. Así comenzó esta historia. Hoy, casi un cuarto de siglo después, cuento con más de 250 “análisis de coyuntura” acumulados en mis archivos, como esperando el momento para ser publicados en su totalidad. Ante la dificultad material para cumplir ese objetivo, he optado por publicar los correspondientes a los últimos seis años de nuestra historia contemporánea, abarcando así un sensible periodo que arranca en el año 2009, tiempo siniestro del golpe de Estado, y concluye en el presente año 2015, tiempo luminoso de renacimiento ciudadano y antor- chas callejeras. Este libro es, por lo tanto, algo así como un “diario de país”, escrito mes a mes, un registro cotidiano de los hechos que, de alguna manera, han marcado y señalado el rumbo de nuestra evolución histórica reciente en tanto que Página | I Diario de la conflictividad en Honduras 2009 - 2015 Estado y sociedad. Contiene, pues, una visión personal del diario acontecer, un conjunto de puntos de vista y opiniones de un observador subjetivo -no podía ser de otra manera- que busca sistemáticamente el sentido más profun- do de los hechos objetivos.

CARTA A CHAVEZ Con relación a los hechos ocurridos en nuestro país, el día veintiocho de junio del año 2009, cuando salto a la luz publica internacional lo que parecía un golpe de estado y que sin temor a confundirme; en un futuro no muy lejano, será el ejemplo mas digno a seguir para todos los pueblos latinoamericanos en aras a la democracia, a la libertad y la dignidad. Un presidente elegido democráticamente; por primera vez en la historia de una nación demócrata en el siglo xxi, promulgo su auto-sustitución y obligo a una nación a aplicar las leyes constitucionales, para evitar sucumbir ante los ideales que no comparten los hondureños. El 28 de junio del año 2009 El presidente José Manuel Zelaya Rosales, era removido de su cargo ejecutivo, para sustituirlo constitucionalmente, según el mandato de la carta magna hondureña, por que en medio de una consulta ilegal, se vinculaba una idea de traición ala patria. La idea de destruir a Honduras; una obsesión que llevaba tres y medio años, ha conducido y conduce todavía la política de Honduras por un camino tortuoso lleno de mentiras, errores, fracasos y desaciertos .

Meyer Analyst in Latin American Affairs July 14, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34027 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Honduran-U.S. Relations Summary On January 27, 2010, Porfirio “Pepe” Lobo Sosa was inaugurated president of Honduras, assuming power after seven months of domestic political crisis and international isolation that had resulted from the June 28, 2009, ouster of President Manuel Zelaya. While the strength of Lobo’s National Party in the legislature has enabled the administration to pass much of its policy agenda, Lobo has made only limited progress in addressing the challenges inherited as a result of the political crisis. Several efforts to foster political reconciliation have helped Honduras secure international recognition but have done little to lessen domestic polarization. Likewise, human rights abuses—which increased significantly in the aftermath of Zelaya’s ouster—have continued, and the citizen security situation has deteriorated. In June 2011, 45% of Hondurans approved of Lobo’s performance in office. In addition to the political problems inherited as a result of the 2009 ouster, Lobo has had to contend with a weak economy. Honduras suffered an economic contraction of 2.1% in 2009 as the global financial crisis, together with the domestic political crisis, led to significant declines in tourism, remittances, export earnings, and foreign investment. Lobo has pushed a number of reforms through Congress designed to restore macroeconomic stability, strengthen public finances, and encourage sustained economic growth. Although these reforms have generated considerable opposition from some sectors of Honduran society, they have the support of the international financial institutions, which are now providing Honduras with access to much needed development financing.

  • Estudio De Opinión Pública: El Panorama Politico Electoral
    ESTUDIO DE OPINIÓN PÚBLICA: EL PANORAMA POLITICO ELECTORAL NOVIEMBRE 2019 Honduras DESCRIPCIÓN METODOLÓGICA La encuesta fue realizada mediante entrevistas domiciliarias cara a cara a nivel nacional del 17 al 29 de octubre del 2019 siguiendo los principios del Muestreo Aleatorio Estratificado y utilizando una muestra de 435 hogares particulares dispersos en 25 municipios, donde se encuestó a hondureños con por lo menos 18 años de edad. En teoría, con una muestra de este tamaño, uno puede decir con 95% de seguridad que los resultados tienen una precisión estadística de + ó – 4.7 puntos porcentuales de lo que sería encuestar a todo el universo con completa precisión. Desafortunadamente, hay otras fuentes posibles de error en todas las encuestas que son probablemente más serias que los cálculos teóricos del error muestral. Ellos incluyen rechazo de los encuestados a responder con la verdad, la redacción y el orden en que son formuladas las preguntas, errores voluntarios e involuntarios de los encuestadores, etc. Es prácticamente imposible cuantificar el error que puede surgir de todos estos factores. Estas declaraciones son hechas siguiendo los principios del National Council on Public Polls (NCPP) de los Estados Unidos de América. 2 LE VOTE – Estudio de Opinión Publica – Noviembre 2019 CONCLUSIONES PARTIDOS POLITICOS • El Partido Nacional es el partido político con la peor imagen ante el electorado en general. • LIBRE es el partido político con mejor imagen entre sus propios simpatizantes. • El 60% cree que los nuevos partidos políticos que se están formando son “más de lo mismo”. • El Partido Nacional se percibe como el más unido, mientras el Liberal se percibe como el más dividido.
