South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint argues that he won’t unblock the designations for Under Secretary Arturo Valenzuela and ambassador Thomas Shannon, until “there’s an agreement on the Honduras November election and US aid to the country is restored”. He added that the Obama administration describes what happened in Honduras as a military coup “when documents clearly indicate that the Honduran government acted following the constitutional process.”
“Democrats are showing little respect for the US constitution and for the Honduras constitution; the Obama administration is becoming in this case an ally of Raul Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez”, insists DeMint.
