On Sunday, the social platform comprising the pro democratic efforts: the National Front against the Coup D’Etat, celebrated its first national assembly to draw the strategies they will adopt in the future, trying to strengthen the fight against the de facto regime in the different regions, departments and municipalities and communities of the country.

Some of the goals of the assembly was to analyze what the Front has done so far, looking to the national elections on November 29th. The de facto regime is carrying out an electoral campaign facing strong criticism from the international community.

The latest measures to pressure the coup government were adopted by Brazil – which suspended all the agreements on visa exemptions with Honduras for standard and diplomatic passports – and the United States, by announcing last week the ending of all aid programs with Honduras.

Despite all this, the dictatorship remains firm in its position, since it decided to adopt the same measure with Brazil, and threatened the US to stop fighting drug trafficking in Honduras-

“If we don’t have the support of the world’s largest consumer, they will get more drugs. We have no funds, so it will be easier for them” said the de facto Minister of Defense, Adolfo Sevilla.

But the pressure on the coup regime continues to grow both inside and outside Honduras. Retour ligne automatique
Inside, the popular movement is preparing new mobilizations and announcing it will not recognize the elections if they take place under a dictatorship.

“Social change will take place with the people, by the people. This is a class struggle of the oppressed people against the oligarchy”, the general coordinator of the National Front Against the Coup d’État, Juan Barahona, told Prensa Latina.
