Depths

In the dramedy tradition of Latin-America politics, Honduras Supreme Court and Congress ousted an president who was clearly violating the constitution he was supposed to uphold.

Not even his own party backs him up. Honduras Congress deliberations have been unanimous in this regard.

The Honduras military has been following orders by Honduras Attorney General and Supreme Court.

Now OAS is going to explain Honduras Congress and Supreme Court how to interpret and apply the Honduras Constitution. Kind of presumptuous, I think, to explain two of three branches of a State how to interpret the law they have written.

The only article with some common sense is from The Economist, it ends suggesting to put the burden of the solution on foreign diplomats. But the solution has already been put in place by Honduras: oblige the president to follow the constitution.

Another who's on first? moment.
