The demands that motivated this measure included an increase of the minimum wage and the salaries of state officers, a rejection to the labour flexibilization proposed by Porfirio Lobo´s administration –considered by the resistance a continuation of the dictatorship that took place in the country last year-, the support to university workers that are in conflict and the defense of regulations to protect farmers. The front also expressed its rejection to the privatization of natural resources.

In a press release, the National Front of Popular Resistance said that the actions promoted by Lobo´s administration are “illegitimate and illegal”, because “they are imposed by sectors kidnapped by a privileged class against the will of the people”.

Also, the Front stated that there will be a mobilization each time the government attacks the demands of the people, and said that in order to find a permanent solution, Honduras must be reorganized.

“We have to reorganize the country, its economic system, its laws and values imposed to continue exploiting”, said the Front, demanding a National Constituent Assembly.

In addition, the Front announced new massive mobilizations this month: next week there will be one to celebrate Honduras Independence Day.
