Honduran Church
Denounces Corruption
Corruption is at
the root of the high
Honduran crime rate
because the funds for
education stayed in the
pockets of a few people,
denounced Carlo Magno
Nuñez, Chancellor of the
Catholic Church in the
country Monday.
According to this
ecclesiastical
representative, the
funds dedicated to
security have not been
properly invested in
what they were earmarked
for, nor were the funds
for social promotion.
The priest's statements
were motivated by the
murder of the Presidency
of the Republic's
escort, who was riddled
by bullets in
Tegucigalpa Friday.
He complained that in
the country, the right
to life is not
respected, and that
Honduras is becoming
infamous in the world
for its crime
statistics.
"We request all the
groups to meditate on
life, which should be
respected and preserved,
and to work together for
the inalienable right,
which is human life," he
said
He finally begged for
family unity and for
development of programs
of social prevention for
young people. |
