Disinformation triumphs in Honduras

Carralero Interview with Carlos, the Cuban writer exiled in Italy

of Stefano Magni

Italian media deal with relatively little of what is happening in Honduras and Latin America. It is only known that there was a "coup" against a Democratic president who has set up a government supported by the military and headed by Roberto Micheletti, while both the U.S. and Latin American countries want to restore "lawfulness."

But the image that comes to us is very distorted compared to reality. Nor is it fully understands the importance of the political struggle thus far from our homes. "With different nuances, seeing always the same means of communication of the left, tried for decades with Cuba and Venezuela. The media left misinform than to inform on the events of the South American continent "- told The Review of Carlos Carralero, Cuban dissident writer in exile in Italy 1995 - "When the information comes so you do not become reality nothing more than to kill and rob the peoples and the western governments the ability to take decisions and act with objectivity."

have been silent on what the media?

Nothing is said of what he was doing, the President Manuel Zelaya He was trying to amend the Constitution to become president for life. That, in Latin America, has always been the first step for the emergence of a new dictatorship is the same thing he did Fidel Castro in Cuba, the same path that he also Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. You do not say that Honduras, with Zelaya, has already become one of the nine members of the Dawn, a block of countries increasingly destabilizing, a real "Middle East Latin America", with lots of petrodollars (Venezuela) and projects of subversion. "

on what the international media misinforming WOULD BE?

have been "noticed" something was happening in Honduras only to speak of a "coup" against the president. Roberto Micheletti called a "coup" and said that "we have exported a coup" for its Italian origin. But it has not said that Zelaya hang up as many as 19 charges. Was violating the Constitution. After the first warning, the president sought to replace the military leadership. And this is always the first step of aspiring dictators, when a head of state wants to turn his country and assume full powers, first of all, it ensures control of the army. Nor is it ever said that the "coup" has no characteristic of a coup: no one was injured or killed during the removal of the President. Not a single shot was fired. Instead regards disorders of the July 5, when he attempted a forced return Zelaya in Honduras, it was not said that, in fact, was a military operation directed from Havana, Caracas and Managua. As the plane flew over the airport of Tegucigalpa, a manifestation of Zelaya's supporters tried at all costs to cause trouble, to throw the country into chaos.

what extent Cuba is involved in this crisis?

Chavez said that he was constantly in contact with Castro and Ortega while trying to return to Zelaya. The Honduras is a chapter in more than Castroism. Throughout the Cold War, the objective of Castro's Cuba was the export of revolution in Central America, first with the guerrillas, then with the secret services. The only country that was not touched by Castroism was Mexico, while Honduras was heavily infiltrated by the Cubans. E 'in recent days the news of the return home of about 145 Cuban advisers present in Honduras. Returning them, because according to Castro in Havana are not sure then always use the usual methods.

So Cuba thinks that Honduras is a losing battle?

For now, yes, but the situation could still tip over, because the Honduran democracy has been completely abandoned by the OAS (Organization of American States) by the European Union and also from the United States. All of them are pushing for a return of Zelaya. And this misinformation is doing the lion's share: the world does not know what is happening in Honduras, the views were contrary to the public sonosempre coups and why there is more sympathy with Zelaya, who is seen as "victim" of a coup. Is not there. Less informed by the politicians, everybody thinks that President Zelaya has to go. At this point we no longer only a phenomenon of misinformation, but real bad faith. If the world does not condemn an \u200b\u200baspiring dictator and condemning the other hand, those who defend democracy, then take the turn that events are really bad.
