Unwavering, Talks Pause
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduran people's forces have
reached Saturday their 105th consecutive day
of anti-coup struggles, amid a state of
siege even during the dialogue to solve the
current dangerous political crisis in the
country.
Juan Barahona, general coordinator of the
National Front against the Coup d'Etat,
stated that a demonstration would take place
on Saturday in the populated neighborhood of
Hato de Enmedio, in the outer area of the
capital.
Since constitutional guarantees were
suspended on September 26, strong
contingents of riot police and army soldiers
have repressed resistance' rallies.
The issue of repression was analyzed Friday,
during the third day of talks by
representatives of Constitutional President
Manuel Zelaya, who was removed from office
on June 28, when the military coup was
perpetrated.
Barahona, one of Zelaya's delegates, said on
Friday night that they demanded that the de
facto government representatives ended the
current state of siege and repression
against resistance.
They also demanded that putschists reopened
Radio Globo station and television channel
36 Cholusar Sur, the capital's only two
media covering the anti-coup rallies.
The parties also announced Friday night that
they had discussed 60 percent of the issues,
although Barahona stressed that the main
problem of the negotiation, which is
Zelaya's restitution, has not been accepted
by representatives from the de facto
government.
