US embassy cable - 05TEGUCIGALPA1203

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. On 06/06, the San Pedro Sula-based liberal daily "Tiempo" 
carried an op-ed by Pedro A. Brizuela entitled "Another link 
in the Latin American Chain Broken."  "Lucio's ouster from 
Ecuador evidences the failure of the traditional governments 
in Latin America and the systematic crisis is so `sharp 
stabbing' that the people conclude where the origin of evil 
comes from and which is the solution to apply." 
 
"Bolivia, Argentina and Ecuador governmental ousters have 
been done by the popular forces. There have been other 
experiences via the electoral path in Chile, Venezuela, 
Brazil and Uruguay; the chain will continue to break by the 
links that weaken." 
 
"This is a general crisis; but the OAS has been unused as a 
clubbing instrument of North American politics. That is why 
the OAS has been paralyzed, unable to do anything in Ecuador 
and I don't think that the Ecuadorian people will allow the 
OAS to interfere with national issues." 
 
"All this indicates that the Ecuadorian people wish for 
their own government and will fight until they find it. No 
doubt the South Americans are tired of false promises, that 
is why they search for their own democracy. The power of the 
people, for the people and by the people."
