24. Honduran Constitution

That is precisely the argument for reworking the honduran constitution as LIBRE proposes. What the anti-LIBRE electorate doesn't understand is that the current Constitution was drafted during a time where the country was little more than a US launching pad for contras. They treat it as a god-given edict that mustn't be tampered with...except when our country's elite needs to tamper with it for their own means of course (there have been bills that have enabled foreigners, vice-presidents and Congressional presidents to run for office while still in office...without the latter JOH's candidacy would've been impossible, though in all fairness it was passed abut 12 years ago to favor another candidate).

There is worry however that the cause of the constituyente may be coopted by the establishment for their own purposes...there have been rumblings of JOH wanting to use it to enable his reelection, which is the official reason why Mel Zelaya was ousted from power.
