Speaking through an online conference, Hernández added that “the drug traffickers always want account adjustments, we know they’ve lost everything and this is their way to get revenge, they want benefits for themselves and their families.”
The president warned that any partner of the United States will lose faith if they continue to believe the drug traffickers, “ what comes out of New York is insulting, it’s scandalous, but seeing the testimonials taken as a ‘holy word’ is more strange , ‘he said.
Devis Leonel Rivera, Carlos “Negro” Lobo, Don H, Yankel Rosenthal were admitted and they were worried that Juan Orlando Hernández would come to power because they would not have deals. All these people, without exception, have ended up in American prison He added.
After highlighting the results achieved by the government in the fight against drug trafficking, which was even acknowledged in International Narcotics Strategy (INCSR) of the Department of State of U.SThe president pointed out that “what is happening in New York is outrageous for Honduras.”

He also stressed that there are videos showing that “it is more than obvious that this whole lie is going to fall apart.”
Hernández published a video of a visit he made as president of the National Congress, during the Barack Obama administration, showing that he had no relationship with the drug traffickers.
“In 2013, the DEA had an undercover officer who was in the meetings of the narcos in Honduras. The year is important: remember that 2013, according to their false testimonies, is that the narcos confirm that they arranged everything with me, supposedly to suit them, since I was running for president of Honduras. But that’s a plain lie, there is evidence. We have the transcripts. And these are United States government documents. These are court documents produced by official government sources. That audio recordings reveal that the false testimonials are just that, premeditated lies. The headlines should read, “The DEA’s recordings reveal and destroy the narco’s systematic false testimony,” he explained.
The recordings show the real situation. The first recording is from November 7, 2013. That is, two or three weeks before the presidential election on November 24. And the drug traffickers had already seen that I had promoted the extradition, despite all his efforts. “To stop her. He had pushed for the property to be confiscated in order to confiscate the criminals’ property. And that law had just been used to confiscate the property of the Cachiros in September of the same year.”
