Boycott launched of military-led Honduran election

Tuesday 10 November 2009

Honduran democracy activists have announced that they will boycott the November 29 presidential election because “the army has its nose in everything.”

Independent socialist candidate Carlos Reyes, who leads the Union of Beverage and Related Industry Workers, has withdrawn.

Mr Reyes said that to participate in the elections “would mean following the strategy of the coup-installed government.

“The army has its nose in everything, there is repression throughout the country,” he declared: “All state institutions are run not only by the military, but by the putschists,” he added.

The anti-coup Resistance Front, which Mr Reyes helps to co-ordinate, say that it is too late to ensure a free and fair ballot.

“Participation in such a process would give legitimacy to the coup regime and to its successor,” the progressive alliance said in a statement.
