Businesses Honor Micheletti

The National Association of Industrialists (ANDI) in a special event today, conducted a private ceremony to honor President Roberto Micheletti.

In the house of ANDI’s President, Adolfo Facusse, the Honduran President and his wife, Siomara Micheletti, were joined by a group of commanders of the Armed Forces, led by General Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, for the event.

Mr. Facusse said Micheletti is a patriot, and the first hero of Honduras in the XXI century. Faccuse mentioned the difficult time last year when he lived in the U.S. and his visa was revoked for defending democracy in Honduras. Adolfo also said during his speech that Micheletti will go down in both world and Honduras history. 
 


President Micheletti thanked ANDI for the plaque of recognition, but said the defense of democracy in Honduras involved several groups. “This was not one person.” He highlighted the role played by the Armed Forces, National Police, and “men and women nationwide who had the courage to confront the situation.”

He recalled when he was sworn in as president to replace the ousted Manuel Zelaya,
“I had no doubt that I had the support of the people of the Armed Forces, the Police … but more … most importantly God was with us,” said the President. He stated that even when the international community turned its back to Honduras, the National Congress was brave to make corresponding decisions.

Micheletti called for reconciliation among Hondurans. “I say again, and I repeat several times, it is easy to govern a country as noble as Honduras, and it is easy to govern a country where they have respect.”

“I only say that it has been an arduous task” …”I want to thank here publicly, my team of workers, the Armed Forces, the police, the whole team of government, especially the Foreign Minister and the Deputy Foreign Minister, for this fight, even though we had no backing from other countries,” the president said.

He thanked the administrators and financial workers of the State that did “an incredible job” amid the political crisis.

Micheletti also stated it was the “obligation” of any government to support private enterprise which provides work and development for the country.

    This is a sign of the new order in which things are loui ayala, do you remember little Elian, the young Cuban child who was sent back when Clinton was in power?

    He saw his mother die and then eaten by sharks while on their escape trek from Fidel’s Cuba, but the motive for her death, to look for a better future for her son, was not enough reason to respect her wishes in the eyes of a Democratic party ruled administration, they sent the kid back to keep Castro happy.

    So now, under a different administration, also a Democratic Party ruled one, Honduras manages to fend off an attack by Castro and Chavez and do what do we get, an attack from Obama &Co., which has another Clinton in it.

    Anybody surprised?
    You bet, Honduras had never before been attacked by the United States of America (North) because of our rejection of Communism.

    My congratulations to the most “awesome job “of the honduran government under the incredible leadership of “President Michelliti”. What you have struggled and accomplished was a lifetime gift to the whole nation and the generations to come. I hope ” iron lady” and O’bomb “A would slap their faces with shame for their wrongful condemnation of the decision of the government to oust a ” murderer,abusive and corrupt lucifer of the country.
    Here is a very real story of a couple in Ecuador
    under the leadership of the cousin of lucifer” President Correa”. A mother of twin delivered one the babies with 1 leg short. She was asked
    help from the government but to no avail. Both the parents of the twins are educated and came from an upper middle class family . The kid that has the defect will come to U.S.A for operations and other medical follow-ups and was given by the U.S government a 5 year multiple entry visa, but unfortunately , the ecuadorian government gave them only 1 month. Parents of the twins are very frustrated and angry with the situation and kind of the government the people of Ecuador had chosen. They said no matter what you do,work harder and harder at the end of the day you did not do anything to make your life better. It is only that are near with “gods”
    ( Correa)that can enjoy the luxury of freedom and corruption and humanitarian abuses. So, watch out Honduras, they might attempt again under the favorite leadership of ” balloon” since he is very ready to give pardons to the criminals.
