Political debates in Honduras and Chile

Overview

In Honduras, political debate has emerged regarding presidential accountability. Liberal Party deputy Iroshka Elvir has proposed a presidential recall referendum mechanism to allow citizens to vote on whether a president should remain in office if they fail to uphold their constitutional mandate. This proposal follows scandals involving President Nasry Asfura and alleged advisor Fernando Cerimedo.

In Chile, discussions have resurfaced concerning illiberalism in the context of security constitutional reforms proposed by President José Antonio Kast's government. Academic Alfredo Joignant has noted that illiberalism involves a state where electoral democracy remains, but constitutional liberalism—including judicial independence and the separation of powers—is weakened.
