Rep. María Elvira Salazar, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 27th district, has voiced her opinions on international and regional issues through a series of tweets on November 21, 2024. The congresswoman expressed concerns about actions taken by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and political developments in Honduras.
On November 21, 2024, Rep. Salazar criticized the International Criminal Court's approach to issuing arrest warrants. She stated that "The @IntlCrimCourt would rather put out arrest warrants for democratically elected leaders over a dictator like Nicolás Maduro, who is getting off scot free." This tweet reflects her disapproval of the ICC's priorities regarding international justice.
In a subsequent tweet on the same day, Rep. Salazar reiterated her stance in Spanish, expressing similar sentiments about the ICC's decisions: "La @IntlCrimCourt prefiere dictar órdenes de detención contra líderes elegidos democráticamente antes que contra un dictador como Nicolás Maduro, que sigue oprimiendo a su pueblo con impunidad."
Later that evening, she addressed domestic affairs in Honduras with cautionary advice concerning economic zones known as ZEDEs (Zones for Employment and Economic Development). On November 21, 2024, she tweeted: "Mucho cuidado con expropiar las ZEDEs en Honduras. ¡En enero habrá un nuevo Sheriff en el pueblo!" This message suggests potential changes in governance or policy expected in January.
