The National Resistance Front against the Coup d'Etat in Honduras (Spanish: Frente Nacional contra el Golpe de Estado en Honduras[1][2], Frente Nacional de Resistencia Contra el Golpe de Estado[3] or Frente Nacional de la Resistencia[4][5]), frequently referred to as the National Resistance Front[6], is a wide coalition of Honduran grassroots organisations and political parties and movements that aims to restore elected President Manuel Zelaya in replacement of the de facto President Roberto Micheletti, whose government is perceived as a dictatorship existing since the 28 June 2009 Honduran coup d'etat[7][8], using the methods of massive civil disobedience.[9][10] The National Resistance Front refers to Article 3 of the 1982 Constitution as a legal basis for opposing the de facto government.[1] The National Resistance Front supports a process of participatory democracy that should lead to a national constituent assembly.[2] The National Resistance Front frequently makes public statements and in early August 2009 organised a national march intended to converge on San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa on 11 August.[9][10]

Aims and composition

The National Resistance Front against the Coup d'Etat in Honduras, frequently abbreviated National Resistance Front,[6] is a wide coalition of workers' organisations, campesinos' organisations and other grassroots organisations, together with centrist/left-wing political parties and movements that have stated their opposition to the 2009 Honduran coup d'etat.[7][8] The aim of the National Resistance Front[11] is to replace the de facto government of President Roberto Micheletti, which is perceived by the National Resistance Front as a dictatorship, by restoring elected President Manuel Zelaya.[11] The National Resistance Front states that it constitutes the organised expression of Hondurans' right under Article 3 of the 1982 Constitution to resist against a government imposed by armed force.[1]

Policies and actions

Frequent public statements regarding the political and human rights situation since the coup d'etat occurred are made by the National Resistance Front and redistributed by many of the participating or supporting groups, e.g. the women's rights group Centro de Derechos de Mujeres de Tegucigalpa[12].

In response to the San Jose mediation meeting in Costa Rica, the National Resistance Front stated its opposition to immunity for those who had carried out the coup d'etat. It also stated that it "strongly [supports] the continuation of processes for participatory democracy, which will eventually lead to the convocation of the National Constituent Assembly and the prior definition of the criteria and requirements for the women and men who will be its members."[12][2]

In early August, the National Resistance Front organised a convergent national march, composed of many individual marches from different parts of Honduras, with the intent to converge in marches in San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa on 11 August.[9] As of 9 August, about five thousand marchers who had left the departments Colón and Atlántida on 4 August arrived in El Progreso, Yoro, the town from which de facto President Roberto Micheletti originates, and about eight thousand marchers from the departments Ocotepeque, Lempira, Copán and Santa Bárbara were expected to join with these marchers in San Pedro Sula on 11 August. Thousands of other marchers were expected for the Tegucigalpa convergence. The marchers declared their aims to be the restoration of elected President Manuel Zelaya and the establishment of a national constituent assembly.[10]

TeleSUR has attributed the "paralysis" of major sectors of the Honduran economy, including health, education, and electricity services and the closing of the four main Honduran airports, to the National Resistance Front.[13]

Micheletti government responses

Two of the leaders of the National Resistance Front, Juan Barahona and Rafael Alegría, were briefly detained and later released by police during a demonstration against the coup d'etat on 31 July 2009.[11]
