Honduras Coup Marks Two Months
Tegucigalpa -
Honduran peoples' forces have reached their
62nd consecutive day of peaceful resistance
on Friday, when the military coup against
President Manuel Zelaya has been ongoing for
two months.
The de facto government is facing an
increasing international isolation and a
dangerous economic crisis, characterized by
suspension of the foreign credit and
stoppage of several activities, due to
political tensions.
Health Ministry union leader Carlos Rios
outlined on Thursday a critical panorama in
that ministry: the regime has no money to
pay security and personal hygiene services.
Condemnation of putschits increased
worldwide after de facto President Roberto
Micheletti's refusal to ink the San Jose
Accord, proposed by Costa Rica's President
Oscar Arias.
Zelaya accepted the initiative in an effort
to bring the country back to peace, despite
the conditions imposed, as rejection of a
constituent assembly, and seek punishment to
those who have violated human rights during
the coup.
Juan Barahona, general coordinator of the
National Front against the Coup d'Etat, said
that the struggle would continue as long as
necessary, until the people reaches victory. |
