Tegucigalpa, August 30 (RHC)-- Thousands of Hondurans carried out a mobilization on Tuesday, called by President Xiomara Castro, for the defense of democracy and justice, in support of the Government and to demand the election of a new attorney general.

At a rally held in Tegucigalpa, Xiomara Castro emphasized that it is necessary to maintain unity so that coups are not repeated in the country.  "We must remain united, organized, mobilized, in the vanguard and in resistance, so that in Honduras there will be no more coups d'état, narco-dictators or looting."  

The Honduran president denounced that there is a conspiracy against her government.  "Despite our efforts to achieve peace in the republic and citizen coexistence, despite my immense tolerance, despite enduring undeserved insults against my condition as a woman, leader and president of the Republic, I am forced to denounce before the world the conspiracy organized by the mafias and organized crime elites with the structure of drug trafficking to overthrow my government," she said.

In addition, the president reiterated that Hondurans want to live in democracy, without organized crime, with a fair tax regime "in which we all pay taxes according to our possibilities and our needs."

"We want a transparent State, without the corruption of public-private alliances. A strong rule of law, where corruption, illegal exonerations and money laundering are fought," she added.
 
The Honduran president also expressed that she feels proud of the Government and the progress of the national refoundation project.  "I am convinced that it has been the right decision to summon you (the population) to be present, accompanying us in this historic moment in which we need popular unity in defense of our rights."
