Honduras Anti-CAFTA Movement Grows
Unidad Democratica Party will contest in Honduras' Supreme Court the free trade agreement signed with the US.

UD Legislator Doris Gutierrez said the means used to pass the CAFTA

violate Honduran laws and will affect thousands of farmers unable to contend the invasion of the local markets by US produces.

The locals will be unable to compete with the negative effects on the small and median farmer production and the entire agribusiness.

It will cause havoc for labor and microeconomic sectors as well as for small and median enterprises, she added.

Unions, farmers and other sectors led last week anti-CAFTA demonstrations and said the agreement will deepen the US-Honduran

economic gap and ruin the already deteriorated local finances.

University students and youth organizations also warned of the loss of their history, culture and national identity.
