Conservative Nasry ‘Tito’ Asfura takes office as the new president of Honduras last

The new president, who three days before the elections received the support of the president of the United States, Donald Trumpwas not recognized as president by the outgoing president, Xiomara Castroalleging that there was “fraud” in the elections.

“I want to wish ‘Tito’ Asfura luck. We hope that Honduras continues with this growth project for the country, all Hondurans wish that, that it be the best for Honduras,” Castro said, however, on Monday at an official event in the Honduran capital.

Asfura did not invite presidents and heads of state from other countries to the investiture ceremony for reasons of “austerity,” and preferred to assume his mandate at the headquarters of Parliament, contrary to the traditional investitures at the José de la Paz Herrera National Stadium, in the Honduran capital.

This investiture ceremony was attended by ambassadors and representatives of international organizations accredited in the country, among other guests.
