In a recent interview, former Honduras first lady Ana García de Hernández revealed her decision to run for the presidency in an effort to defend Honduras' reputation and highlight what she perceives as an injustice against her husband, Juan Orlando Hernández. Her husband, a former president of Honduras, was recently convicted on drug trafficking charges in a U.S. court.
García de Hernández vehemently defended her husband's innocence and criticized the U.S. government for tarnishing not only her family but the entire nation of Honduras. She expressed her dismay at the portrayal of Honduras as a 'narco-state' and emphasized her desire to speak out against the perceived injustice.
