event this Thursday, October 14 at noon at the Rond Point Schuman.
The Plate form for Democracy in Honduras denounced the meeting to be held between Herman Van Rompuy, Chairperson of the Council of Europe and Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa (Honduras) in Brussels today.
Cardinal Maradiaga supported the coup in Honduras, even though it was unanimously condemned by the UN General Assembly. It is even considered by the last legitimate government of Honduras as one of the authors of the coup that was organized by local economic powers, including some families who monopolize the economy Honduran army and with the effect the takeover of political power by the traditional oligarchy, now increasingly linked to international capital and supported by the police.
The Episcopal Conference, at the initiative of Cardinal Maradiaga, supported the coup. Only a bishop objected, taking advantage of the socially excluded. It is therefore an expression of an ecclesiastical power, allied with conservative political forces and economic exploitation. While one would have expected the Church testimony solidarity with the poor, just the opposite happened.
In this without us urge the European institutions to reject the presence of the Honduran representative of ecclesiastical power in Belgium.
The Platform for Democracy in Honduras launches a call to show this Thursday, October 14 to 12 Rond Point Schuman dealings with the Council of Europe.
The platform for democracy in Honduras is an umbrella that brings together Belgian organizations who denounce the coup in Honduras since June 2009 and support the struggle of Honduran democracy.
