In her first UN speech, #Honduras’ leftist President Xiomara Castro denounced colonialism, “neoliberal injustice,” and exploitative corporations.

Calling for multipolarity, she declared, “Never again will we carry the stereotype of a banana republic”

“Honduras will only have a future if it takes firm steps to dismantle the neoliberal economic dictatorship,” she asserted.

Castro (of no relation to Cuba’s Fidel Castro) also condemned the violent right-wing military coup that the United States sponsored in Honduras in 2009, which overthrew democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya – Castro’s husband.

“We poor nations of the world will no longer tolerate coups d’etat; we will no longer tolerate the use of lawfare, or color revolutions, which are usually organized to plunder our extensive natural resources,” she proclaimed.
