Platform for Democracy in Honduras
June 28, 2009, the Constitutional President Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, has been kidnapped by the army of Honduras and forcibly returned to Costa Rica, with the tacit support of the United States. One of the most reactionary oligarchy was installed in power by the military to prevent social reforms that were underway, and the democratization of the country.
Front resistance to the dictatorship was immediately formed, which erupted during all these months an unprecedented resistance to the dictatorship, despite the high level of repression, the wounded, dead, missing, censorship and destruction of some media independent.
The European Union condemned the coup in form, but in fact endorsed by failing to exert real pressure including commercial, which would have allowed the restoration of democracy; then by endorsing the fraudulent elections organized by the de facto power in December 2009, by which dictatorship has tried to clear his image.
Upon taking office in January 2010 the new president, Porfirio Lobo, while declaring to the form it would be vigilant on the issue of human rights, the EU was right subsequently considered as a valid interlocutor for resuming negotiations on a treaty of free trade.
Today, despite the fact that multiplied during the past few days the killings of trade unionists, peasants, journalists, resistance continues in Honduras and beyond. For us, it is essential to counter this coup Honduras, for the defense of democracy and freedom not only in Honduras but also throughout Latin America, and for the survival of liberal democratic governments that have given people in other countries such as Bolivia , Ecuador, Venezuela, Paraguay, Brazil ...
For us living in Belgium, it is also firmly reject the fact that the European Union and Belgium accept such a regime is, such democratic facades and tolerate such violations of human rights and the rule of law, it is to deny that - for the benefit of a few investors European and some transnational - or negotiated a free trade agreement with such a regime that was imposed on the bayonet course and opposed to social change and democratization of the country.
Solidarity with the people of Honduras!
Stoppers coup!
No to censorship and murder!
No trade negotiations!
