Honduras: Opposition Calls
Consultation on Assembly
TEGUCIGALPA - The National Popular
Resistance Front (FNRP) announced on Tuesday
the carrying out of a consultation to the
population to create a constituent assembly
to refound the country.
The Front specified in a press release that
the action will take place on June 28, a
year after the coup that overthrew President
Manuel Zelaya.
The coup army, which is supported by the
leaderships of traditional parties, business
associations and the church, prevented the
carrying out on that day of a national poll
on a constituent that was organized by the
government of Zelaya.
In the document, the Front underlines that
assembly will "represent the will of the
people to build a real democracy and
transform the system of injustice and
repression established by the oligarchy."
It also convened the Second Meeting for the
Refoundation of Honduras that will take
place in La Esperanza city on March 12 to
14.
In the press release, the Front condemns the
US interference in the internal affairs of
the country, which is carried out by its
Ambassador Hugo Llorens.
The FNRP maintains that Llorens "tries to
give some legitimacy to de facto regime in a
coarse way claiming a false national
dialogue that ignores the rejection of the
majority of the population to the
dictatorship."
It reiterates its non-recognition of the
government of conservative President
Porfirio Lobo, who was elected in the
questioned November 29 elections. |
