Liberty and Refoundation (Spanish: Libertad y Refundación, Libre; libre is also the Spanish word for "free") is a leftist political party in Honduras.^[5] Libre was founded in 2011 by the National Popular Resistance Front (FNRP), a leftist coalition of organizations opposed to the 2009 coup.^[5]

Xiomara Castro de Zelaya, the wife of former President Manuel Zelaya who was deposed in the 2009 coup, was the presidential candidate of the party in the 2013 presidential election; the latter Zelaya was not allowed to run for a second term under the constitution. Castro took second place in the four-way race, receiving approximately 29% of the vote behind Juan Orlando Hernández's 34%.^[6]

At least eighteen Libre pre-candidates, candidates, family members, and campaign leaders were killed between June 2012 and October 2013.^[7] Additionally, it is strongly opposed to free market capitalism and the neo-liberal economic model, and maintains a long-term goal of "establishing an alternative economic system."^[2]^[3]
