Jesuit On The State Of Honduras Politics

In the view of Jesuit priest Ismael Moreno, the political role they are being given appears to be part of

"a government that has loaded itself with booty and that now, with the end of its term approaching and new elections coming up, wishes to stay on beyond its four-year mandate, with no clear sense of direction except to secure more power.”

Moreno told IPS that the government's erratic behaviour is enveloping many sectors, including leftwing parties with scant popular backing. This coopting action, he said, reflects the government's interest in carrying out a referendum to change the constitution and the system of government.
