Militants from Honduras' Freedom and Refoundation Party (Libre) entered the Presidential House over the past hour ending at 10:46 p.m. UTC on December 17, 2025, condemning interference by U.S. President Donald Trump and demanding an end to what they called an “Electoral Coup,” according to an X post by @CesiaMejiaHN. The incursion occurred during the reporting window from 9:46 p.m. to 10:46 p.m. UTC amid heightened post-election tensions, as reported by the X post. Libre militants voiced their protest inside the Presidential House, directly targeting Trump's involvement in urging the National Electoral Council (CNE) to proceed with scrutiny processes. This development follows a U.S. Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs' statement earlier on December 17, posted between 8:16 p.m. and 9:46 p.m. UTC by @WHAAsstSecty, calling on the CNE to immediately begin special scrutiny of election results and warning against disruptions. Ongoing disputes involve Libre's challenges to delayed CNE declarations, including Salvador Nasralla's prior call for a nationwide vote-by-vote count.
