Last week I posted on the changing situation in Honduras. The military-backed coup had signed a power-sharing agreement that would enable the country to move forward on an agreed basis towards elections.

However, conditions quickly went into reverse. The coup government of Roberto Micheletti ripped up the deal and refused to have the ousted President, Manuel Zelaya, in the power-sharing government.

Thus the situation is now as before – the coup remains in place.

The danger is that this new scenario may be given legitimacy. Efforts to isolate the de facto government must be re-doubled.

I have written some of this up at Labourlist today here.
