Honduras Lucida

Lucid Honduras. We are not all blind, but as it costs to keep your eyes open. (Jose Saramago) He had never seen my people more lucid than today. Clarity and mental agility that has had to understand and explain the things which have befallen us from June 28 (day of the military coup) are impressive: all know, that in the last election in 2005 did not vote for Mr Micheletti. What happened on June 28 in Honduras, was a military coup. That the solution to the current conflict is in roll back the situation to the original state from June 27.

At this time there is no conditions for holding elections under a regime de facto. Bad weather to vote, complained the President of the polling station number fourteen after close soaked umbrella with violence and removed the gabardine that little had served during the hasty trot of forty metres that separated the place where parked car door where, with hearts leaving him by the mouth, just enter. Because well, with these words Jose Saramago, it presents a very similar to ours, space in the ensayo sobre la lucidez, approaching the municipal elections, PDM (Party of the medium) PDD (Party of the right) PDI (the left party) were about to an upcoming election. And they are betrayed by a law older than democracy itself, the right to know the truth, the right to think, the right to exercise a critical and analytical thinking that takes them to judge and make decisions. And that, them scary, rather than a war, rather than a chemical attack.

In this novel Saramago, input presents us a storm Raetia reported landslides and flooding everywhere. the President of the polling station number fourteen, am very concerned something frankly strange is happening here, so far it has not appeared nor a single elector to vote, already more than one hour ago we opened, and not a soul, Yes Sir, of course, to the storm there is no means of stopping it. The protagonists are women and a Commissioner of police that retained the view in the epidemic of white light, they give samples of the moral high ground that anonymous citizens can achieve when they decide to exercise their freedom. In Honduras the storm that unties from the fateful June 28 is called coup, accompanied by provocations and violations of human rights, one after another the sewers of power are put in place: the guilty parties have to be eliminated. And if they are not, they are invented. As well as surveys, projections and goals are invented. There to be alert if my twin or twin appears giving a vote that I have not given. It can happen that one day we must ask ourselves who has signed this for me?
