Honduras: Enrique Ortez, the first of many to go


And so farewell racist pondscum Enrique Ortez, replaced as foreign spokesdumbass yesterday by another piece of pondscum that thinks he's president of Honduras. Local daily La Prensa reports that Ortez has this morning been replaced as chancellor by some dude named Robert Flores Bermudez who swore to uphold the good name of dictatorship and promised not to insult the leader of a country that owns a veritable shitload of nuclear weapons. Hat tip to the blog IKN wants to be when it grows up, Borev. Mojitos served. The end.

PS: By the way, there are still zero schools open in the country, with the president of the teachers' association making it clear as to why: "We are not going back until President Manuel Zelaya is reinstated." Nuff said.

UPDATE: Nicely done commenter Nell, reprinted here for easy access:
But "Queers, prostitutes, leftists, blacks" and anyone else Enrique Ortez views as not quite fully human have to hope he's not long in his new job, Justice and Government minister.

Regarding the situation in Honduras. There's a train of thought here in Venezuela amongst people who fought on the left for many years after the 1989 Caracazo that the action of the golpistas will favor the social movements longer term.

With the advent of what has happened in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador and so on in the last 30years, Honduras has to be next with some sort of National Liberation Movement.

Let's face it whether or not you love capitalism or not, there's always been something very wrong in Latin America with the number of poor being chugged out every year. Honduras is no exception and this coup will rebound on itself probably sooner rather than lateer.

Otto's sharp observations about Peru and the massacre, the social injustice and racism will some day hear its death kneel. The Lima oligarchs will soon be surrounded in their fortress as the Spanish were at the Battle of Ayacucho in December 1823.
