Honduran Polls, another Tense Scale to the
Crisis
TEGUCIGALPA - The questioned elections on
November 29 is another tense scale of the
already prolonged crisis unleashed in
Honduras, faced with the rejection of vast
social and political sectors that term them
a farce.
Elections have deepened the political
confrontation worsened in the country after
the June 28 coup d'etat in the impoverished
nation, among powerful groups that dominate
the country and marginalized people's
sectors.
These forces' stances are diametrically
opposed faced with the Sunday polls.
The National Front against the Coup d'Etat,
led by the resistance since the same day of
the military coup, stated that it will
ignore results of the elections, an attempt
to legitimize the rupture of democratic
order.
That alliance demands as a solution to the
crisis the restitution of constitutional
order and President Manuel Zelaya, as well
as the call for a constituent, popular and
inclusive assembly.
Juan Barahona, Rafael Alegria, and other
leaders of the Front stated that popular
mobilization will not stop until the
putschists have been defeated.
Zelaya announced his decision of impugning
elections his organization has termed them
illegal for a de facto regime.
Meanwhile, armed forces, police, the de
facto government, legislative and judiciary
powers, along with business people, insist
on presenting elections as a solution to the
conflict. |
