Coup in Honduras? June 29, 2009
Posted by Sverre in : World politics , trackbackWhat does it take to make a coup? There might be some things I’m missing here, but according to this CNN report it appears to me that the president of Honduras has been deposed on orders from the parliament and the supreme court regarding what they have ruled are unlawful actions in trying to change the constitution. I see how it may be encroaching on the powers of the executive for the parliament and the supreme court to issue orders to the military, but it seems a bit of a stretch to call it a coup, doesn’t it?
Or have I just got the situation all wrong based on what is reported by American and European media?
