RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre, left) commemorated Tuesday the 12th anniversary of the June 28, 2009 coup d’état to the then president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, with a protest against the Employment and Development Zones (Zede) promoted by the ruling party.
On a boulevard in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, dozens of supporters of the Libre party gathered to express their rejection of the Zede and their support for Xiomara Castro, Zelaya’s wife and presidential candidate of that party.
