"During her inaugural speech, Xiomara Castro said that she will work from her presidential office so that justice is done in the case of Berta Cáceres, an environmentalist murdered in 2016, and for whom the perpetrators were sentenced in 2019. During the campaign, Castro placed the protection of human rights as one of the priorities on her agenda, which also includes the issue of the rights of migrants and minority communities. The new president promised the release of political prisoners and defenders of the environment, she also spoke of relief for a million underserved families who will no longer pay for electricity. Xiomara Castro’s inaugural speech reproached the previous administrations for the high indebtedness with which they left the state coffers."
