The head of Honduras's National Electoral Council (CNE) has issued a stark warning, stating that documented evidence of actions taken by the political class against democracy will profoundly shake the nation. Ana Paola Hall emphasized that these are not fictional accounts but concrete facts that will be revealed soon.

Documented facts about what the political class did will shake the country, this is not a novel.

— Ana Paola HallThe president of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Honduras warned about the upcoming revelations of documented facts concerning political actions against democracy.

"Documented facts about what the political class did will shake the country, this is not a novel," Hall declared. She asserted that the CNE holds all the necessary documentation concerning alleged attempts to subvert the country's democracy and prevent the declaration of election results. Hall stressed that the council is not presenting a fabricated story but will bring justice to the Honduran population by revealing these objective truths.

Hall indicated that the CNE is preparing to unveil information about these events, which she described as a "something that the country will soon know." She stated that the political sector and state network that allegedly attempted to impede the electoral declaration have been fully documented. "They can put up all the novels they have put up, but they do not have the objective facts," she added, contrasting the council's approach with what she implied were fabricated narratives from others.

They can put up all the novels they have put up, but they do not have the objective facts.

— Ana Paola HallThe president of the CNE contrasted the council's approach of presenting documented facts with what she suggested were fabricated narratives from political actors.

The CNE has also notified the execution of the guarantee for the contract with Grupo Asesoría en Sistematización de Datos (ASD), the company responsible for the preliminary electoral results transmission system (TREP). This decision follows failures in the system during the recent electoral process, which generated numerous questions about its stability. The council is proceeding with the claim for the guarantee, which represents approximately 15% of the total contract value exceeding 116 million lempiras. Meanwhile, the electoral body is evaluating the system's performance.

We have documentary evidence and there are facts, there is an empty chair.
