Reporteros sin fronteras: Radio Progreso

En la ciudad de El Progreso (norte del pais), cuatro horas después del golpe del 28 de junio de 2009, las instalaciones de Radio Progreso, una emisora educativa fundada y animada por la comunidad jesuita, están sitiadas por militares. Las autoridades obligan a la redacción a cerrar en el acto todas las operaciones.

El director, Ismael Moreno, informó en un comunicado que personas del pueblo se interponieron, evitando así violencias más graves. En noviembre de 2009, Reporteros sin Fronteras encontró al equipo de Radio Progreso.

1. Yes, the anti Chavez anti-socialist anti-democracy forces aka the CIA & the right-wing corporations

want control, installing neocon puppet dictators & regimes throughout Latin America.

No need to vote them in...just use force & the usual subversive tactics, and the profits will continue to roll in for the oppressive outsiders corporations.

Screw the people of those countries, there are huge profits to be made at minimal cost, with no corporate taxes, no labor laws, pollute all you want, there's no restrictions. With puppet dictators regimes, there are no unions = cheap labor - and lots of resources to exploit & steal.

It's not quite so easy to do when progressive socialist presidents & democratic regimes are democratically elected by the people.

What's next, return of the regressive right-wing death squads if the workers & peasants want democracy?

No progressives or socialist ideas allowed in Latin America by orders of the imperialist neocon corporations and enforced directly & indirectly though our tax dollars paid for CIA & military!!

2. YOU: "What's next, return of the regressive right-wing death squads....?"

Sadly, the death squads have never gone away entirely!
And, they are now back in power in Honduras!
