Honduran Congress elects mostly opposition magistrates to new Supreme Court
The new magistrates, who will serve from 2023 to 2030, were elected from a slate of candidates negotiated between Honduras' major political parties. "We elected a Supreme Court of Justice independent of drug-trafficking, independent of organized crime, independent of the narco-dictatorship," said Libre party bench leader Rafael Sarmiento in the chamber, referring to the National party that ruled Honduras for eight years.
