00:00Honduran judiciary debates on constitutionality of employment and economic development zones.
00:06The head of the bench of the Liberty and Re-Foundation Party, Rafael Sarmiento, considers that the
00:11Supreme Court of Justice has the opportunity to determine the constitutionality of the
00:16employment and economic development zones.
00:18During the meeting, the plenary of magistrates will also debate the political amnesty for
00:23the ex-major of San Pedro de Sula, Rodolfo Padilla Sonseri.
00:28Meanwhile, four magistrates of the court announced their participation via virtual means in the
00:33controversial plenary meeting convened by the president of the judicial body, Rebeca
00:38Raquel Obando, to settle the legal status of these instances.
00:48The Zones of Employment and Economic Development CD is a project promoted by American and European
00:53investors that suppressed the sovereignty of Honduras by granting full international
00:59domain in these limited areas, promoted by the former president Juan Orlando Hernández,
01:04who is currently incarcerated in Washington for drug trafficking, and of which it is assured
01:10that one of the zones was in charge of a personal assistant of the Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
01:18The negative effects of the employment and development zones in Honduras include the
01:25violation of the constitution and the international treaties subscribed.
01:28Likewise, the people are victims of the expropriation of their national resources, militarization
01:34and precarious employment.
01:36On the other hand, there was no prior and informed consultation with the inhabitants
01:40before the installation of the CDES project.
