The Coup d'état in Honduras is a regression of almost 40 years
The recent political events in Honduras have captured the attention in the whole world. And it is not for less! A group of military men and businessmen scared and worried in losing his powers and excessive privileges, resorted to old and already anachronistic actions: The Coup d'état.
The matter is already not to know who was guilty: if the managerial dome, the military men or the president Mel Zelaya. If the president Zelaya committed errors, the action of the participants in a coup is deplorable and condemnable, but this they compete to the Honduran to define and to clarify internally. The most excellent thing at this point is that the media of massive communication and some staunch hostile political analysts of Chávez are selling a reply of the “cold war”. On the one hand, the right betting him on the time so that Zelaya does not return to the maximum magistracy and with this to send the message that is valid to create chaos, violations of the constitutional order and of the human rights not to transfer privileges to the hard-working class and to the village, with the ridiculous pretext of which the communism threatens to the region. For other, a left that has achieved the biggest democratic victory of all the times on having aligned to all the countries from the American and European continent in his favor, demanding the reestablishment of the constitutional order of the Republic of Honduras, thing that mistakenly might be taken those who sow the terror, like a unilateral victory of the satanizado Chavismo.
Of remaining Michelleti in the power therefore it remains of the presidential period of Zelaya – still against the whole world - which would be a demonstration of awkwardness and excessive ambition, it would be setting in problems to other countries of the continent. The Coup d'état in Honduras is a regression of almost 40 years. The left would realize that there are no spaces to sit down to talk with the right in no country and everything would turn a more fierce ideologies struggle and desconfianzas that would cause a regional instability. Already in some Central American countries they listen to threatening voices on which some presidents ”should of meeting in the Zelaya mirror”; nothing more serious than the comments of the right for the sake of justifying the brutal actions committed in Honduras.

At this point the panorama is shaded. The UNO and the OEA have given an ultimatum that the participants in a coup in Honduras have taken with dissimulation and in addition they answer with more repression and with restrictions to the individual rights. Namely if there are sanctions, which the people suffers; if they expel them from the multilateral organisms, which it the people suffers; and if the loans freeze on behalf of financial organisms, which it the people suffers also. Again the actions and political decisions are not directed to the benefit of the majorities, but to the powers struggle.
We all must be persons in charge and advocate a solution negotiated to the conflict, without opportunisms and with a vision to the future of avoiding damages bigger than the democracy of the continent. That's why the solution is in hands of the multilateral organisms, like the OEA, the UNO, the Inter-American Commission of Human rights, but also it is necessary to include to the involved parts – without threats you do not even condemn beforehand - and to other mediators with credibility International and separated from ideological slants. Considering the violations of the human rights and of the restrictions of the individual rights in the brother country and for the sake of avoiding major consequences, all the actors must moderate the tone to the current critical situation.
If there is something that we must analyze in this Coup d'état, there are the errors committed on both parts and in what did it trump the dialogue and the agreement, to never return to actions that must stay in the past. What it is necessary to do is to repair the damage caused to the society, to the democracy in, and to the Honduran popular will.
If there is something that we must analyze in this Coup d'état, there are the errors
committed on both parts...”
