There are obviously disagreements and fights within it. Some people speculate that the suspension of the supreme court justices several months ago was a faction fight within the National Party. In my opinion, Honduras essentially has one political party with two factions within it, the National Party and the Liberal Party, that have ruled Honduras for many decades, with close ties to military leaders. This is going back prior to the Cold War, to the nineteenth century when Honduras was essentially a banana republic, as they problematically called it.
There is a very strong elite consensus in Honduras to exclude the popular classes from meaningful input. This has been expressed for long periods of time in Honduras, through military dictatorships, which formally ended in the 1980s. Clearly, observers have pointed out that the military and security apparatus has remained very strong and influential in Honduras. Persons involved in previous death squads in the Cold War period, trained in the School of the Americas, and so on, still play a significant role in these institutions and apparatuses.
I would say the only possibility for meaningful change in Honduras is the struggles from below. We've seen very brave, courageous struggles—the mass movements that grew up in response to the coup in 2009, the struggles for land reclamation in the Bajo Aguán by the peasant collective movements, and so on, I think those are our best hope for true social justice in Honduras. You are probably aware of the new political party that has formed, with Xiomara Castro de Zelaya running as leader. They've promised reforms and they're fairly popular, so we'll see what happens there.
