Havana, June 28 (RHC)-- Cuba will not forget the coup d'état perpetrated against former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya 15 years ago, the island's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez, stated today.

In a message on the social network X, Bruno Rodriguez noted that during the early hours of June 28, 2009, soldiers broke into the home of Honduran President José Manuel Zelaya and expelled 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 -- with the exception of the United States, which supported the coup forces.

After the 2009 coup, Manuel Zelaya and popular sectors began a resistance fight that culminated in the victory of Xiomara Castro, who won the general elections in November 2021.  (Source: Prensa Latina)
