NATIONAL HONDURAN RESISTANCE MARCH HAS BEGUN!
NOTE: Shortly, I will put a page together to cover the activites associated with the National March and, that way, I can offer updates as they occur throughout the duration of the march.
August 5, 2009
This morning the Honduran Resistance kicked off its national march. The march organizers are calling for participants to march to either Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula, depending on which is closest to where they live.
In an article yesterday, Juventud Rebelde summarized the purpose of the march:
“Hondurans Prepare National March” Excerpt:
“We must be optimistic, we are in the path of victory and the return of Zelaya. We have achieved the unity of the people and our organizations in this fight, emphasized the general secretary of the Labor Federation, Israel Salinas, to the decision adopted by an overwhelming majority.
Is the time of creation of a broad front, it is the unity of all progressive forces to defeat the dictatorship, Nelson Ávila, economic adviser to President Manuel Zelaya, told PL, who has presented the thesis in acts of resistance.
The general coordinator of the National Front, Juan Barahona, said that the main objective is the restoration of constitutional order and the popularly-elected president, Manuel Zelaya.”
