Honduras "Election" Failed to Stop the Resistance

Honduras "Election" Failed to Stop the Resistance

December 5, 2009
Please Distribute Widely

Dear Colleague,

Last weekend’s coup-run “elections” have not deterred the National Resistance movement from continuing their protests and demanding a Constituent Assembly for a new Constitution. Giordano writes:

“One of the 2010 School's professors, Jesse Freeston, filed the video report, above, from Honduras for The Real News. It shows many of the negative and repressive anti-democracy actions of the coup regime, even on its ‘mock election day,’ but more than that it demonstrates that the National Resistance continues strong and determined and is not going away. It's going to keep coming and coming, fighting peacefully until it succeeds in winning a Constituent Assembly for a New Constitution. And that is downright inspiring.”
