Lisa Sullivan, spoke in Olympia on\u00a0the current situation in Honduras and Venezuela and the growth of the left throughout Latin America on Wednesday, September 30th<\/sup> at 1:30 and 7 P.M.<\/p>\n

Right now, the elected President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya is taking refuge in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras after returning clandestinely to Honduras after being overthrown in a military coup. The U.S. right-wing is playing a major role in supporting this illegal coup. \u00a0 Lisa Sullivan in her talks pointed out the aim by the right-wing of Honduras to stay in power until the next scheduled elections in Honduras, November 28th. What is exciting and positive is the growth h of the popular movements in Honduras who in spite of serious repression are calling for the return of Zelaya to the presidency.<\/p>\n

Lisa Sullivan recently traveled to\u00a0Honduras with Fr. Joe Mulligan and\u00a0seven others to demand democracy be restored by reinstating the\u00a0elected President Zelaya who had\u00a0been ousted by a military coup.\u00a0Sullivan had just been to Honduras the month prior to the coup, asking\u00a0President Zelaya to stop sending his\u00a0troops to the School of the Americas\/\u00a0WHINSEC for training. Sullivan has\u00a0already met seven Latin American\u00a0Presidents making similar requests,\u00a0with some success. Sullivan will\u00a0share with us her overall impressions\u00a0of the recent political and economic\u00a0changes in Latin America and the U.S. role there.<\/p>\n
