Eva Golinger: The Coup in Honduras and the Political Backdrop
On the morning of Jun 28, 200 soldiers from the Honduran military entered the residence of President Manuel "Mel" Zelaya, kidnapped him and forced him on a plane to Costa Rica in an attempted coup d'etat. The national media was been seized by rogue members of the military, Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan ambassadors have all been arrested, and the anti-Zelaya President of Congress, Roberto Micheletti, was declared President by a Congress controlled by the opposition. All of this while Zelaya appeared on TeleSur from Costa Rica stating he was not giving up his seat. Zelaya was promoting a non-binding opinion poll to be held this week asking
voters about creating a Constitutional Assembly to revise the country's constitution. How has the international community--most important the nations of Latin America and the US--responded to the coup? Is this a test of President Obama's firm commitment to democracy in his foreign policy? Eva Golinger, activist/journlist and author of "The Chavez Code," in conversation with Manuel Criollo.

This is such a critical struggle and it's off the mainstream news radar. I'm glad E. Golinger is coming back next week for an update.
