Open Letter Santa Fe is in favor of restitution, without any constraints of the legitimate and only president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya.
condemn the violent repression of popular demonstrations for the return of democracy in Honduras and the pursuit and arrest of political and social leaders, facts hidden by the mainstream media, who speak of "clashes" between the military and protesters.
We also support the efforts of the presidents of ALBA, in all international arenas that have spoken out against the coup and the decision of our President, actively mobilized in support of the constitutional government of Honduras. Customers
led this coup are reactionary forces in economic and political alliance, with the support of the Catholic Church, the oligarchy, media, armed forces and the executive arm. It is no coincidence that this occurs in the time since the government of President Manuel Zelaya spurred the realization of a referendum on possible constitutional reform popular, progressive and inclusive.
This action factious in Honduras is the first and before you ask which countries will we put all our efforts to defeat it, so as to avoid their repetition in the rest.
This fascist coup, no doubt carefully against all the democracies of our continent and not an isolated event, but rather the beginning of a coordinated action by all the reactionary forces of each country involved in an effort to regain the powers currently missing.
Appealing to historical memory, we think that a look at our recent past to remember it was in Honduras, where in the spring of 1981, built a command center "External Task Group" as they called the Argentine generals vigilante force that helped to establish. Coups were a single policy for all our America.
yesterday that arise from these "ghosts", heirs of those that resulted in the extermination of more than 250,000 people in our continent, establishing a common thread from those dark years until today.
authors warn that the sectors of destabilizing actions in several Latin American countries have begun to build an absurd "theory of democracy", whereby governments elected by popular vote, as is the case of Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Honduras, Nicaragua, they take positions in favor of social justice, deepening democracy, and the establishment of separate blocks of imperialism, are called populist, anti-democratic, justifying therefore destituyentes actions towards them.
More than thirty years in times of terror imposed by dictatorships in Latin America, it is our active solidarity with the Honduran people and their struggle to restore the democratic order. OPEN LETTER
SANTA FE - July/2009
