Magritte memory , 1948 Recall the previous episode: Honduras President Manuel Zelaya had been putsch using military motivated by the idea that the people had voted wrongly. Bad language had been able to make the connection between this event and leftist politics of Zelaya, who had just sulk an economic agreement with the United States. Obama had said that it was not very fair play by the coup. He had however clearly not the power to protect Zelaya to enable him to regain his presidential palace.
face of popular protest, the army intervened on several occasions. Only here: despite some bloodshed, he remained dissatisfied. Then they had the idea of holding elections. The people want Democracy? Quickly, bring him what he asks! Some booths, two right-wing candidates and presto! The trick was played: elections were held November 29. Obama congratulated the mark of good will.
The few voters who moved, sometimes escorted by soldiers kindly invited by their boss or even risen to the occasion, voted overwhelmingly for the right candidate Porfirio Lobo. The first measure of the latter was to invent a turnout in this election Hon.
Nevertheless, there are still dissenting voices that the military can not calm down. Anger is great among the people of Honduras. Some countries, like Venezuela and Brazil, also condemned the elections by calling them illegitimate. What does the French government? Uh.
And we, what can we do? The idea is to discuss the situation of Honduras as possible. Spreading the News is the first step. And be on guard: when the U.S. decided to legitimize a coup, then "everything becomes possible" among us too. You may say, we found the parade date to avoid electing leftists. Okay. Then say: keep Honduras in a corner of our memory, for the day where the people have the power, he will not to make it fly.
