We are going to build a new era. Out with the death squads. Out with corruption. Out with drug trafficking and organized crime. No more poverty and misery. To victory! The people will always be united. Together, we are going to transform this country... (speaking November 28, 2021)

This important act reflects the will of a people demanding unity, especially within the opposition, in order to defeat the dictatorship...

The economic catastrophe that I am inheriting is unparalleled in the life of the country and its impact on the lives of the people is reflected by an increase in poverty of 74% making us the poorest country in Latin America. This number by itself explains the caravan of thousands of people of all ages fleeing to the north, Mexico and the United States, looking for a place and a way to survive, regardless of the risk to their lives.” ... Having economic resources to invest in people is one of the fundamental missions of my mandate. The transversal axis of the next budget that I will send to the national congress will be transparency and anti-corruption.

The justice system will take care of that... We are committed to our proposal for democratic socialism so that the events that have embarrassed us will never be repeated. The refounding of Honduras begins with the reestablishment of respect for human beings, the inviolability of life, the security of citizens, no more death squads. No more silence in the face of femicides. No more hit men, no more drug trafficking, no more organized crime.
