Sheinbaum Responds to 'Hondurasgate' Audio Leak, Says Foreign-Backed Smear Campaign Against Mexico 'Will Not Make a Dent'
The recordings say 37 voice notes were authenticated and describe plans for disinformation, a U.S. base and political influence across Latin America.
- On Thursday, Hondurasgate and Mexico-based Diario Red reported on 37 leaked voice notes alleging that former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, current President Nasry Asfura, and Vice President Maria Antonieta Mejua plotted to undermine Mexico and Colombia.
- President Donald Trump pardoned Hernandez in December 2025, nullifying a 45-year drug trafficking sentence, while reports allege Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facilitated this release to counter left-wing influence in Latin America.
- The leaks outline proposals for a new US military base, expanded "economic development" zones, and a "digital journalism unit" designed to launch media attacks, with Hernandez instructing National Congress President Tomas Zambrano to undermine Asfura.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo dismissed the leaked allegations as "smears," stating, "They can set up a smear campaign office against our government in Honduras," and adding the campaign "won't affect us."
- These reports emerge amid strained relations between the US and Mexico regarding the indictment of Sinaloa Governor Ruben Rocha Moya, as investigations indicate a broader disinformation campaign also targets Brazil and Colombia.
