The crisis for which it crosses Honduras puts in judgment cloth the function of the Organization of the American States (OEA) and shows the real absence of power that has this organization with head office in Washington. It cannot do anything more that to express an ultimatum and hope that there him should pay attention, thing that anyone can see that it does not come to much, and less in a case when this is the answer to a fact that is done by the force. What it spent in Honduras also shows a real division in the matter, with the OEA and other international organizations, as well as the White House, against groups who say to represent the desire of the people to see the laid down president Manuel Zelaya out of the order. They even carried out a declaration opposite to the OEA, and the president Zelaya was in Washington in search of help. And this is precisely the biggest example from what it has gone on here as for the reaction of the events in Honduras. That we continue importance matters in the Latin community we are used to the absence of deep and intelligent coverage of the topics that more worry the community, and with it happened in Honduras, nothing new.
The news received little attention in the Anglo-Saxon means, and when one was speaking from what it was going on, it was always according to the point of view of the White House or of an analyst a rumor expert in the topic; no Latin face. Perhaps if they were including more faces and opinions about those who really know what is happening, the readership, viewers and radioescuchas they they would not be fleeing in ball in search of the news.
Meanwhile, the groups who advocate the immigrants are well ardent because a two-party meeting was carried out in the White House supposedly to advance the topic, although officials of the same White House admit unofficially that they would not have to protect a meeting his they had the support to approve a migratory reform. And the Congress is still without putting it in the agenda. Those who look for the reform hope that now, with a “super majority” democrat, they will be able to advance the topic. With the Franken entry, the democrats now can be provided with 60 votes and less possibilities of republican blockades.
