National Front against the Coup
Comuniqué No. 32
The National Front of Resistance to the Coup d’Etat, facing the imminent signing of a negotiated agreement between the commission representing the legitimate President Manuel Zelaya Rosales and the representatives of the de facto regime, communicates the following to the Honduran people and the international community:
1. We celebrate the upcoming restoration of President Manuel Zelaya Rosales as a popular victory over the narrow interests of the coup oligarchy. This victory has been obtained through four months of struggle and sacrifice by the people who, in spite of the savage repression unleashed by the repressive forces of the state in the hands of the dominant class, have been able to resist and grow in their levels of consciousness and organization and turn themselves into an irrepressible social force.
2. The signing on the part of the dictatorship of the document which mandates “returning the holder of executive power to its pre June 28 state,” represents the explicit acceptance that in Honduras there was a coup d’état that should be dismantled in order to return to institutional order and guarantee a democratic framework in which the people can exercise their right to transform society.
3. We demand that the accords signed at the negotiating table be processed in an expedited fashion by the National Congress. We alert all our comrades at the national level so that they can join the actions to pressure for the immediate compliance with the contents of the final document from the negotiating table.
4. We reiterate that a National Constituent Assembly is an unrenounceable aspiration of the Honduran people and a non-negotiable right for which we will continue struggling in the streets, until we achieve the re-founding of our society to convert it into one that is just, egalitarian and truly democratic.
“At 125 days of struggle, nobody here surrenders!”

Press Release N.30 of the National Front against the Coup
The Frente Nacional de Resistencia Contra el Golpe de Estado en Honduras communicates to the Honduran population and international community:
1. We denounce the manipulative actions and delaying tactics with which the de facto regime attempts to earn more time and arrive at the electoral farce of November 29th without reestablishing the constitutional order and without having restituted to his legitimate position President Manuel Zelaya Rosales.
2. We reiterate that the Honduran people do not recognize the campaign and results of the electoral process of November 29th whilst the dictatorial regime remains sustained by the oligarchy through the use of arms.
3. We condemn the campaign of disinformation mounted by the media at the service of the oligarchy, with which they intend to present the Frente Nacional de Resistencia contra el Golpe de Estado as a violent organization. We reiterate that the pacific methods of struggle are the only ones that we have used during length of the 115 days of resistance.
4. We denounce the economic crisis that is being lead by the de facto regime and that is provoking the increase of poverty levels in the population.
5. We manifest our indignation at the continued repression on behalf of the State police and military which is expressed in the assassinations of the Resistencia militants, actions of intimidation, encircling of marches and demonstrations, illegal and immoral judicial processes with which they pursue and imprison our colleagues, and more recently the actions of harassment and intimidation against teachers in all parts of the country.
6. We reiterate our unbreakable will to install a democratic and popular Asamblea Nacional Constituyente with which we will re-found the la patria (motherland) and emancipate the exploited working class from a minority ruling economic class.
