Honduran official defies president, denounces $20M armored car contract

Honduran official Leda Pagan publicly denounced a L500 million ($20M) armored car contract left by the previous Libre administration, explicitly defying President Nasry Asfura's instruction to focus on the future rather than past mistakes. This marks a rare public break within the ruling party, signaling potential internal political friction. The contract's details and legality remain unclear, but the accusation could trigger a political crisis or investigation.
