“We cannot transfer the benefits of Petrocaribe to a dictatorship, and much less to a small group of industrialists who were responsible for a coup d’etat”, the minister of Venezuela stated.

Honduras is currently run by military force how democratic is that? Don’t kick a gift horse in the mouth. And don’t kick people when they are down.
I pray for the safety of all Hondurans and I wish all a brighter future.
I AM SO UPSET THAT OUR COUNTRY IS WORST THAN CUBA , TODAY. WE ARE SO HUMBLE AT TIMES ND THE GOVERMENT IS SO BLIND MAY GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN TEGUCIGALPA AND SAN PEDRO SULA,AS AN ILANDER I CAN SEE THE PAIN OF THOSE FROM OUT OF THE ISLAND.
Chavez,is the evil in latinamerica,It is a shame that the the USA.gorvernment is in his favor.Chavez wants to control the small countries in central america specially Honduras therefore he wants Mel.Zelaya to come back to power.I hope that the honest people from Hoduras can realized that it is better to suffer right now and protest against Mel.Zelaya otherwise the honduran people will be under Hugo Chavez regimen.SAY NO TO ZELAYA.
OK the new Hitler Micheletti and SOA trained terrorists Generals Vasquez and Suazo won’t get free oil. Chavez is a great leader and has built the best healthcare system in the world. The neo cons headed by the facist Rush Limbaugh and torture guru Dick Cheney are going to be surprized when their cars, trucks, and buses refuse to run on water.
Mr ONeill,
Chavez boycotts Honduras while he happily supports Cuba and Iran. What’s your concept of Democracy? When was the last free election held in Cuba?
As far as I know, Micheletti is supported by the Constitution, and by the democratically formed Congress and Supreme Court. You can contest the way Zelaya was expelled, but the reasons of his dismissal are perfectly constitutional – as you can check by yourself.
You’re point seems to be that Hondurun government is the expression of some elitist groups, no matter why or how it acts, while Chavez would be sincerely interested in democracy: this is your personal and, let me say, amazingly uncritical belief.
It’s 40 years I hear people like you exulting about alleged liberators and then turning their eyes away when the real people die in the thousands or even the millions. Wake up.
@ John ONeill
The result of raising the minimum wages in Honduras is that a lot of people got fired because the employers could not affort to pay that. So instead of two employees earning 157 u.s. dollars, there is now one earning 289 dollars and the other nothing.
Plan? Food production, 20,000 tractors, tree cultivation, training, biofuel, in addition.
Re John Oneill
“Chavez is doing the right thing.” What right does Chavez have to intervene in Honduras sovereignty?
“Power to the People”??
How do dictatorships with Presidents for life provide ‘power to the people’?
What are you smoking? Some of the pot Chavez and Zelaya are shipping to the U.S. through Honduras?
Honduras does not have to rely on Venezuela’s oil shipments to survive. Their are plenty of private sector oil companies who are more than willing to conduct business with the interm government. Honduras can receive oil shipments from other countries. Chavez was hoping to get total control of Honduras under Zelaya’s rule but unfortunately that idea has failed. Thanks to the courageous Government & Powerful Army.
Support Honduras
Boycott Valero and Citgo Gas Stations
Staging Boycott Vigils at Valero and CITGO stations with banners could raise consciousness of Americans for the people of Honduras.
Chavez is doing the right thing. These days are marking the end of the world, but only as we’ve come to know it. It is time for true democracy. No more oligarchy disguised as democracy. Power to the people. One of the reasons for Zelaya’s popularity with the working class is that he increased the minimum monthly wages in Honduras (except in the maquiladoras) from 157 to 289 u.s. dollars . An estimated two-thirds of the Honduran people live below the poverty line.We in the USA can sure as hell afford to pay more for our coffee and bananas. We can’t afford to have those who serve us living in hunger and abject poverty.
I really hate the countries that are backing this crazy guy up “Zelaya” If he cares so much about his people he will give up trying to get back into power and just move his family to another country. I am proud of my country for what they did. Not many countries goverment will stand up for whats right in the way they did yeah it was really agressive but it was necessary, I hope the U.S government knows that Honduras was Venezuela’s puppet when Zelaya was on power and the way it looked like it was going to become communist. Thank you brave Honduras!
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. What does he think Chavez is over Venezuela, a man for the people, wanted by the people?
If I can quit going to CITGO for a fillup, then Honduras can do the same. 🙂
The important thing is principle of law and not the dollar nor the barrel of petro. Lex is Rex.
Go Honduras!!
Say bye bye Zelaya! And welcome to the private sector. 🙂
Have a blessed day,
tjh
This article reads like the blackmailing is being used to secure illegal authority over another country. What different does it make who is in control if Venezula wants to help Honduras people?
