The president’s wife urged to continue the peaceful protests - “peace as the antidote”, was one of the phrases she used. She said the repression of the de facto regime will increase, and called to confront it without fear because the Honduran people “are doing what is fair”.

Thousands of Hondurans marched with Castro from the Universidad Pedagógica to the Presidential Palace, which is still surrounded by hundreds of military effectives.

“Today they can break into houses, they can punish”, Castro said during her speech, which focused on the demand for the return to the country of the president legitimately elected, Zelaya.
