tice in a U.S. bid to extradite him. Special forces agents encircled Hernandez’s home in the capital Tegucigalpa on Monday after an official confirmed that Washington had asked for him to be extradited. Hermes Ramirez, Hernandez’s lawyer, said the police deployment constituted an “attack” on the ex-president’s rights as it had prevented advisers from coming to the residence. Dozens of people with banners celebrated outside Hernandez’s home, while in other cities people took to the streets with loudspeakers singing, “Juancho goes to New York,” using a nickname for the ex-president. Hernandez, a former U.S. ally who left office last month, officially supported U.S. anti-drug campaigns during his two terms in office. But traffickers caught in the United States claimed to have paid bribes to the president’s inner circle. Alleged associate Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was sentenced in the United States last week to life in prison and a fine of $151.7 million for smuggling tons of cocaine into the United States – with Hernandez’s aid, according to prosecutors. And in March 2021, Hernandez’s brother, former Honduran congressman Tony Hernandez, was given life in prison in the United States for drug trafficking. Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that “according to multiple, credible media reports,” Hernandez “has engaged in significant corruption by committing or facilitating acts of corruption and narco-trafficking and using the proceeds of illicit activity to facilitate political campaigns.” Hernandez denies the claims, which he said were part of a revenge plot by drug lords that his government had captured or extradited to the United States. Hernandez’s lawyer says that the former president has immunity from prosecution as a member of the Guatemala-based Central American Parliament, Parlacen. Hernandez joined Parlacen hours after leaving office on January 27, when leftist Xiomara Castro was sworn in with vows to transform the “bankrupt” state he left behind.

Hats Off for Peru’s Pres. Peruvian President Pedro Castillo has ditched his white cowboy hat
in what is being seen as a bid to raise his popularity. Castillo had appeared in public for three days straight this week without his hat.
According to reports, Castillo asked advice from leadership and self-improvement coach Saul Alanya after his disapproval rating hit 60%. Political analyst Augusto Alvarez Rodrich noted, “I suspect that the image ‘coach’ advised him that he had to change and should start with the hat. The problem is that he has taken off the hat but not the ideas that were beneath it.” Castillo and his associates are being investigated in three separate graft cases. Castillo survived an attempt at impeachment in December. His hat was a prominent feature in his campaigns, and he was said to only remove it when entering church. Castillo himself says he is a victim of a campaign by his political opponents and some media actors, who are trying to force him from power.
Bennett Visits Bahrain
This week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the prime minister, Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, during his landmark trip to the tiny Gulf state — the first by an Israeli premier. Arriving at the crown prince’s office in Manama, the Israeli leader was welcomed by a military band playing “Hatikvah,” Israel’s national anthem.
