1. More than three years after the military coup of June 28, 2009, Honduras is mired in the worst crisis in its history. Poverty levels are catastrophic, internal and external debt is unpayable and committed national sovereignty of an unacceptable form.

FREE categorically rejects the implementation of the law of the so-called "model cities" because it considers it an abomination against national sovereignty, and that the arguments used to justify them reflect well the irresponsibility of Congress or completing perverse purposes to sell intentionally what is left of HOMELAND. Summon cases of Asian countries such as Singapore and South Korea to impose these cities as a paradigm of development, represents a huge mockery of the Honduran people and an insult to the intelligence of a society that has grown tired of broken promises and illusions for sale homeland forever.
