confess that the coup in Honduras had on me the ability to induce a feeling a mixture of amazement and hope. For the first time, the United States not only did not promote a military coup, but reacted with rejection demanding a return to normal. Do not forget that February 23, when the American ambassador in Madrid said the Tejero coup was an "internal affair." Do not forget to Salvador Allende.
A month and a half later, I'm not so sure if the U.S. attitude and the European Union is as committed to democratic rule.
So, no time to write more, I join a global day of action by Honduras. Not so much by its chairman, who can make me more or less grace, but by the victims of the coup, every day more. And above all, because the attitude of letting go, which indirectly allows the consolidation of the coup regime, sets a dangerous precedent for the future of Latin America.
Hopefully I'm wrong.
