Broad Front (Honduras)

The Broad Front (Frente Amplio) is a left-wing political party and social movement in Honduras. It was officially founded as a political party in 2011, emerging from various social organizations, labor unions, and indigenous groups. The Broad Front represents a coalition of progressive forces seeking to challenge the dominant political and economic structures within Honduras.

The party's platform typically advocates for greater social justice, economic equality, land reform, and environmental protection. It is critical of neoliberal policies and the influence of multinational corporations in Honduras. Key issues for the Broad Front include combating corruption, promoting human rights, and defending the sovereignty of Honduras against foreign intervention.

The Broad Front has participated in national elections, fielding candidates for president, congress, and local offices. While it has not yet achieved widespread electoral success, it serves as an important voice for marginalized communities and progressive causes in Honduran politics. It actively participates in social movements and protests advocating for policy changes and government accountability. The party's influence often extends beyond its electoral performance, shaping public discourse and pushing for reforms through grassroots activism and advocacy. Its ideology aligns with other leftist movements in Latin America that aim to address inequality and promote participatory democracy.
