New street protests planned in Honduras

New street protests planned in Honduras

Will he or Wont He?

The recently ousted presidente de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya says he's "going, going, back, back to Tegucigalpa!" Wooord?!

OK, this is not happening because the Zelaya is up against the economic interests of the Honduran elite. The Honduran Constitution calls for a referendum or plebiscities to enter the political arena at least 180 days before a presidential election, tentatively scheduled on November 29th. This jewel was passed by the Honduran Congress last Tuesday in a move to block the impending proposal brought by Zeleya, who is being painted in the so-called liberal and conservative media outlets as Chavez-lite.

Even with King Hussein's seemingly strong statement denouncing the military coup, Zelaya does not stand a chance on returning to his rightful position because of the newly re-written Honduran constitution which is still binding and unless the U.S. uses force to bring about Zelaya restoration, (which WILL NOT happen), it then left up to Chavez and his forces to bring back the fallen leader. This also WILL NOT happen because it will give the international community the power to pressure Obama to take strong PUBLIC stance against Chavez, and consequently the poor people of Latin America that Chavez champions. And we all know Obama is not one lose his title as the people's champ.
