Abstract

This work analyzes the scenario in which Honduras found itself during 2019, through the review of economic indicators and the most relevant social and political events that have occurred in the Central American country. 2019 was distinguished by the persistence or worsening of long-standing problems. In economic terms, limited progress is insufficient to reduce the high levels of poverty and inequality. In social matters, violence continues as one of the pending commitments of the second administration of Juan Orlando Hernández. While in political matters, corruption returns to the center of the debate and abuses of power and human rights violations do not stop. All these factors have increased the social discontent expressed in social movements and have caused the emigration of thousands of Hondurans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
