Need information on Roberto Micheletti's political orientation. |
|
I haven't been keeping up with the Honduras crisis because I was more concerned with heath care. Is Micheletti a right or left winger? Wikipedia says that he is from the same party as Zelaya, the Liberal Party. Anyhow, Roberto Micheletti already made a bad impression on me with his suspending of rights and assassinations, like Pinochet.
Also, for a little fun, do the Freepers know which party Roberto Micheletti is from? Imagine how they would react if it turns out that they supported someone from the Liberal Party of Honduras.

4. There are two parties that have dominated every democratic election in Honduras for decades |
|
The Nationalist Party -- rightwing conservative.
The Liberal Party -- once moderate leftist.
Both Zelaya and goriletti are members of the Liberal Party.
But goriletti is owned by the 10 oligarch families that consider Honduras their feudal kingdom.
The 10 families considered that Zelaya was moving too far to the left hence the coup d' etat 100 days ago.
So yes, the freepers are supporting a liberal (but in name only.)
