In this final edition of the year, we are glad to share a fascinating interview with experts Eric Olson from the Seattle International Foundation and Adeline Neau from Amnesty International for a deep dive into democracy, elections, and human rights in Honduras.

As a Hora Cero tradition to close the year, we present a country-by-country review of the most significant developments we covered across Central America. This overview brings together key moments of political change, social struggle, repression, and resistance, offering a concise record of how power was exercised and challenged throughout the region.

Lastly, as we close out the year, thank you for being part of The Central American Drop community. Your readership, engagement, and solidarity sustain our commitment to rigorous, independent journalism that centers the struggles, voices, and democratic aspirations of Central America. In a year marked by repression, resistance, and profound political shifts across the region, your support has helped ensure these stories are documented, analyzed, and shared beyond borders.

We enter the new year reaffirming our mission to provide critical reporting that challenges impunity, amplifies grassroots perspectives, and connects local realities to global power dynamics. Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing with us. We look forward to continuing this work with you in the year ahead.
