Lenin Yanes

: As a result, there have been protests in Honduras calling for Hernandez to resign, according to Brandon Sun. There a lot of corruption right now in Honduras, and people are trying to stop that like for a very long time now, said 15-year-old Lenin Yanes, who attended the Brandon demonstration with his family last night. Honduran news reports suggest that President Juan Hernandez National Party stole more than $350 million from the national health-care system in order to fund his 2013 election campaign. Though Yanes’ family came to Brandon five years ago, they still have relatives in Honduras. Honduran immigrants held posters and signs at the demonstration with messages calling for the end to the corruption and for Hernandez to be taken out of office. While the situation is difficult, they want the end of corruption not just for their family, but for the whole country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
