Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya

Havana, June 28 (RHC) -- "Fifteen years after the coup d'état against the legitimate president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, we reiterate the condemnation of this practice that violates the popular sovereignty of nations," indicated today the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz -Canel. 

In a message on social network X, the president stressed that the Honduran people and government can continue to count on the brotherhood and solidarity of the Caribbean nation.

During the early hours of June 28, 2009, soldiers broke into the house of Honduran President José Manuel Zelaya and took him to Costa Rica, carrying out a coup against him, orchestrated by Washington and the oligarchy of that nation.

The international community unanimously condemned the breakdown of the constitutional order in Honduras and no government in the world recognized the coup junta.

Among the activities planned to remember the date in this Central Caribbean nation, the celebration of the forums stands out: in Paulo, the Social Forum of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, in Puebla, among other spaces for dialogue and regional reflection.

Also noteworthy is the holding this day of an event for the 15th anniversary of the coup d'état against the then constitutional president Manuel Zelaya, led by the president, Xiomara Castro.  (Source: Prensa Latina)
