The leadership of the National Front against the Coup d'Etat ratified that the struggle in the streets would not stop until the constitutional order is reestablished and Manuel Zelaya is restored in power, as the president elected by the people.
Are you Tired? Are you afraid? Workers' Unitary Federation President Juan Barahona asked the people in a rally on Tuesday and a powerful crowd answered "NO" in unison.
"Carry on, there is a constant struggle!" The demonstrators said in unison, marching Tuesday along important avenues in this capital and other cities to demand restoration of democratic order.
The central unions held a meeting Tuesday to analyze the preparations for a general strike to hit one of the sectors that support the military coup: the business sector, said sources of those forces.
Student organizations agreed two days ago to brush aside their differences to take vigorous action against pro-coup factions and agreed to occupy the universities and schools in rejection of the coup.
Honduran traditional Liberal Party rank and files, together with the National Conservative Party, agreed on Tuesday in a national plenary to label the organization's echelons, accomplices to the coup, as illegal.
Those sectors repudiated the de facto government president, businessman Roberto Micheletti and presidential candidate Elvin Santos, for whom they set a deadline that expires on Wednesday to speak against the military coup.
Constitutional President Manuel Zelaya, whom they recognized as leader of the liberals, sent a message to the meeting, ratifying his decision of returning to the country as soon as possible, to replace the coup leaders.
