“Latin America” isd a handy phrase for the geographically challenged.

For a second or two, I thought you were being petty on this, on the grounds of continent: but of course Honduras is (continentally) in North America.
Best regards

Who to hell says it’s a right wing coup? The Honduran judiciary and government acted to prevent a left wing coup!
I suppose it must be all those ‘NeoCon’ Hondurans who think that their constitution is worth the parchment it’s printed on.

Well what do you expect from a confessed employee of the KGB?

What I want to know is why this proto-Chávez has been foisted on poor Costa Rica. He’d be more at home in La Paz or Managua with his fellow Leftist caudillos.
It also highlights how much of a ‘coup’ this was. The people who ousted him put him on a plane unmolested. If the Chávez story tells us anything, it’s that a quick bullet behind the ear of the person you’re overthrowing saves a world of trouble later on.
