“Honduras is open for business”. With this slogan the coup government of Porfirio Lobo called 1,500 business people including the world’s richest ones, such as Mexican businessman Carlos Slim or the sheik of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Razzaq Bindawood.
"Pepe Lobo has put the country for sale, almost in an auction, and Slim is thinking of what part of Honduras he is going to buy”, leader of the Honduras resistance, Jose Leonidas told SOS Señal de Radio, of Radio Futura station, Argentina.
In protest against the business sector, the Honduran people took to the streets once again to demonstrate. And once again the coup regime repressed them.
A report published on the website of the National Front of Popular Resistance (FNRP) entitled “Business and Blood” - says that Honduras experienced a situation of schizophrenia during a business meeting in San Pedro Sula.
Because on the one hand, thousands of national and international businessmen were discussing “in an invisible bubble” how they would distribute the country, while the people were mobilizing to “stop these projects that will bring more poverty, deregulation, flexibility and worsening of the working conditions”, reads the article signed by journalist Giorgio Truchhi.
Meanwhile, the Red Morazanica de Informacion reviewed that during the protests in San Pedro Sula, police and military officers carried out “brutal repression” by throwing “tear gases, polluted water, stones and bullets”. Running, kidnappings, torture and more blood: to sum up, a new incident that goes with the style of the dictatorial regime.
This was all happening while the “Honduras is open for business” forum continued. The reports say that the President of Guatemala, Alvaro Colom and the former President of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe were some of the celebrities of the international political scene that arrived in Honduras.
During the meeting 147 investment projects were analyzed, by total figures that exceeded 14 billion USD. “Too tasty a dish to be distracted by the blood being spilled in the streets”, ends the FNRP report.
