The international mainstream media are once again altering, in their banality and superficiality, the course of events: the referendum today would not have had to decide whether or not to allow Zelaya to appear for a second presidential term.
The president was, after his arrest and transferred to an air base and despatched in the direction of Costa Rica Contrary to what has supported the Costa Rican security minister, Janina del Vecchio, the chief of Honduras would not have sought asylum in the government of any country in Central America: "I have applied for asylum in the government of Costa Rica This was a seizure made by the military," said Zelaya, speaking on arrival at the airport of Telesur San Jose. To hear the statements made in the last hour seems to have been the Supreme Court to depose the president.

La polizia ha sparato contro di loro gas lacrimogeni, disperdendo il campanello di protesta. Blindati dell'esercito sono stati dispiegati non solo lungo le strade di accesso alla residenza di Zelaya ma anche in strategici punti della città. Inoltre gruppi di militari hanno preso il controllo delle sedi di alcuni edifici della pubblica amministrazione. Nonostante la militarizzazione nelle ultime ore la capitale è diventata teatro delle proteste dei movimenti sociali che appoggiano Zelaya, barricate infuocate lungo le strade e opposizione in faccia ai militari.

 

Le reazioni internazionali al golpe
Il presidente Venezuela's Hugo Chavez was the first to arise in defense of President Zelaya, sided with the president and accusing the U.S. of having "a lot to do" with a military coup as "troglodyte." Chavez has invited Barack Obama to decide. Which took place shortly after, with President Obama said he was "deeply worried", citing the Organization of American States so that "all parties to respect the rule of law" ;. The OAS has called an emergency meeting to discuss precisely the situation in Honduras. The European Union condemned the coup and demanded the immediate release of Zelaya. The President of Bolivia Evo Morales has called "international organizations and social movements in Latin America" \u200b\u200bto defend the constitutional order of Honduras.
President Chavez also the uproar that followed before the items that report the seizure made by the military against the ambassadors of Venezuela and Cuba Nicaragua's president has threatened military intervention in Honduras if it were to be freed as soon as the diplomat for the Venezuelan armed forces, there is a state of high alert. Obama is instead returned sula question is that "no There was no U.S. involvement in this action against President Zelaya. "

Why this coup?
The Honduran President Manuel Zelaya extraction liberal politics, elected from the ranks of the center-right. The anomaly of this presidency is the path that "Mel" has made during his tenure, veering to the left, towards the demands of social movements and indigenous peoples, thus giving rise to a feature gap between the great powers of the country, his opponents, and large sections of the population that now make up its electoral base. The crux of the friction
that was the fly the coup was thus the decision to move forward on the path of the referendum that was to be held today: Zelaya promised to go ahead despite the opposition of the Supreme Court, the army, the Congress as members of his own party. Across the survey gave 85% approval rating the president on the decision to convene a constituent assembly. Actors antagonistic to the President (economic oligarchies, the church and military hierarchies, caste politics) are then the rock against which he fought Zelaya, who found the help of the media of communication (the preserve, as in rest of the contingent of economic power) e che hanno promosso il colpo di Stato.
A dimostrazione dello scontro tra poteri martedi scorso il parlamento ha approvato una legge per impedire il referendum prima o dopo le elezioni del 29 novembre prossimo. Un conflitto originato dalla decisione di Zelaya di rimuovere il capo di stato maggiore delle forze armate, Romeo Vasquez, e il ministro della difesa, Angel Edmundo Orellana, lo scorso 26 giugno, alla luce del rifiuto di entrambi a collaborare per l'organizzazione del referendum previsto per quest'oggi.
Poche ore dopo la rimozione del capo di stato maggio in Honduras si son tenute le prove generali del golpe: decine di soldati hanno circondato la residenza di Zelaya, punti nevralgici del paese sono stati occupati delle forze armate. Il colpo di stato del 26 giugno è poi fallito dinnanzi alla reazione dei movimenti sociali ed indigeni che hanno di risposta occupato sotto una pioggia battente la base militare della forza aerea nell'aeroporto internazionale di Tocontín, ma anche, secondo quanto dichiarato in seguito da Zelaya, dal rifiuto degli Stati Uniti di sostenere il colpo di mano.
