Vice Minister Edwin Hernández Faces Public Outcry Over Controversial Remarks at Lempira Day Event
Gracias, Lempira – Vice Minister of Education, Edwin Hernández, was met with a chorus of boos and chants of "¡Fuera!" today during the official commemoration of Cacique Lempira Day in Gracias, Lempira. The incident, which quickly went viral, occurred as Hernández delivered a speech that reportedly included criticism of the Bible and a politicization of the historical significance of the day. Eyewitnesses and video footage show a visibly agitated crowd reacting strongly to the minister's words. The shouts intensified, making it difficult for Hernández to continue his address. The public's reaction underscores a growing tension surrounding political discourse at traditionally non-partisan commemorative events. "He started talking about things that had nothing to do with Lempira and even disrespected our beliefs," stated one attendee who wished to remain anonymous. Another added, "This day is about our history and our hero, not about political agendas or attacking religion." The Ministry of Education has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. The event marks a significant moment of public dissent against a high-ranking government official during a national celebration.
