Honduran Congress
Rejects EU Regulation
Honduras' National
Congress decided to
declare before
international bodies its
nonconformity with the
European Union migratory
policy, especially the
recently approved Return
Directive against
illegal immigrants.
Congresspeople agreed to
express their rejection
of the directive, which
may mean deportation to
over 3,000 Hondurans
from different
territories in the Old
Continent, before the UN
General Secretariat and
the European, Latin
American and Central
American Parliaments, El
Hearldo daily reported
on Friday.
The initiative was
promoted by Congress
member Rodolfo Irias,
who was unanimously
backed by his
Congressional peers, as
he said the EU
regulation penalizes
efforts made by those
who go to European
countries just looking
for jobs, thus
contributing
significantly to those
countries' economies.
