Point 4 of the Frente states this: 4. We reiterate that a National Constituent Assembly is an unrenounceable aspiration of the Honduran people and a non-negotiable right for which we will continue struggling in the streets, until we achieve the re-founding of our society to convert it into one that is just, egalitarian and truly democratic.
The Frente was out in front of the negotiations office and was attacked yesterday by the cops, with many of it's leaders arrested. This point 4 is something the gov't will simply not yield on yet it remains the root cause of the coup in the first place and now points the way forward toward continued mobilizations. The upcoming elections are held in accordance with the Constitution as planned. The issue now confronting the Frente is how to respond or deal with these elections, to participate or not, under what program, with whom, etc etc. As of now NO DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS exist, at all, to even wage a campaign, electoral or in the streets. The show is not over. D. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
