Honduran Putschists Bribe, Intimidate
Tegucigalpa - Dozens of Hondurans called
national Radio Globo on Tuesday to denounce
that their employers are trying to force
them to participate in activities to support
the putschists, who are cornered by
increasing popular repudiation.
Those who called explained that these
gatherings are being organized in several
territories by means of threats and bribes,
with organizers of the farce demanding
"demonstrations in white shirts in defense
of democracy."
Numerous citizens have made similar
denunciations since June 28, in the wake of
the coup against President of the Republic
Manuel Zelaya.
Businesses and institutions involved in this
farce include several maquilas (assembly
plants), city halls and the Granitos and
Terrazos construction material company, they
told Radio Progreso.
A woman said she has been "offered food and
100 lempiras in cash ($5) for wearing a
white shirt."
The de facto President Roberto Micheletti
told Radio America that not only
businesspeople and representatives of the
middle class are taking part in the "white
shirt demonstrations" in defense of the
Honduran Constitution. "The poor people are
also in favor," the usurper said.
