Honduras: “State of Exception” Lifted, but Political Impasse and Tensions Remain
By Larry Habegger | Permalink |The acting government canceled the “state of exception” (what used to be called a “state of emergency”) Oct. 19, lifting curfews and allowing opposition broadcast media to return to the air, but talks with deposed President Manuel Zelaya about his future role in government remained at an impasse. The government then sent the army to play loud music and recordings of pig grunts all night outside the Brazilian Embassy where Zelaya is holed up. Protests supporting Zelaya occur almost daily, and the de facto government imposed restrictions Oct. 21 requiring demonstrations to be approved 24 hours in advance with the leaders filing their names and the route of the march. Tensions remain high.
