The “free press” in Honduras

Honduran press silence unrest and supports coup d’état

Caracas, Jun 30 ABN.- The media outlets of the Honduran nation have devoted their websites to stand out the mass meeting carried out at the major square of Tegucigalpa, Honduras’ capital city, in support to the coup d’état and the de facto government of Roberto Micheletti.

With headlines as “Standing around for peace and democracy”, from the newspaper La Tribuna; “Hondurans defend democracy nationwide,” from La Prensa; and “In multitudinous parade celebrate that Honduras left Hugo Chavez’s yoke”, from the newspaper El Heraldo, the newspapers in Honduras highlight the mass meeting in support of the coup and silence the different protests carried out since last Sunday by popular sectors in the Central American nations against the unconstitutional action.

Moreover, at the websites of the Honduran newspapers, there are short reports about the different resolutions issued by the organizations of the world, which condemn the coup d’état and about support unanimously given by the international community to president Jose Manuel Zelaya.

“Latin America isolates the government established in Honduras and supports Zelaya”; “UN demands to give the presidency back to Mel”; and “Former president Zelaya appears in the UN” are reports issued by the media outlets with regards to the wave of resolutions and actions carried out by the governments of the world in support of President Zelaya.

Likewise, at the informations issued by El Heraldo, La Prensa and La Tribuna, they do not refer to the different actions of protests carried out by popular sectors all around the nation, in order to denounce the coup d’état and demand the return of Manuel Zelaya to the presidency of the Republic.
