“(We condemn) the criminal intervention of the government of the United States of America in the sister Republic of Honduras,” established the Puerto Rican organization in statements issued by its president, Gerardo Lugo Segarra, and secretary general, José R. Castillo Morales.

The leaders of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico consider that in this way Washington intends to apply “its classic recipe”, by designing, paying for and developing a new coup d’état, this time against the constitutional government of Xiomara Castro.

The political organization, which has in its historical reference to have been headed by Pedro Albizu Campos, martyr of the Puerto Rican independence struggle, established that “the brave Honduran resistance managed to recover with great sacrifice, after the painful coup committed in 2009” against then President Manuel Celaya.

“We firmly condemn the interference of the Yankee Embassy in Honduras, which with the complicity of national and international corporate media, seek to jeopardize the peace and security of the Republic, to overthrow its democratic socialist government and submit it to their interests,” the Puerto Rican organization said in statements sent to Prensa Latina in San Juan.
