During the month of November, general elections were held in the country. Prior to the elections, the Agrarian Platform issued a statement warning of a plan to create the political conditions for an electoral coup, one that would favor the return to power of the business, political, and criminal sectors that had benefited from the 2009 coup and the narco-dictatorship. Days later, popular organizations spoke out against US interference in the electoral process and called for the consolidation of popular unity to defend the self-determination of peoples and territories.
