A RECENT wave of protests against the Honduran government of Juan Orlando Hernandez has continued the campaign calling for his immediate resignation and arrest on charges of corruption and sanctioning violent repression and murder of a range of Honduran citizens such as environmental activists, journalists and trade unionists.
These latest acts of resistance involve a range of groups and social movements, including the Defence of Health and Public Education campaign.
The initial stimulus for this renewed opposition to Hernandez’s government (which first came to power just over 10 years ago in the US-backed coup) was the passing in April by the National Congress, on a show of hands contrary to procedure, of the president’s initiative called “Restructuring and Transformation of the National Health and Education System.”
