" "The economic catastrophe that I am inheriting is unparalleled in the life of the country and its impact on the lives of the people is reflected by an increase in poverty of 74% making us the poorest country in Latin America. This number by itself explains the caravan of thousands of people of all ages fleeing to the north, Mexico and the United States, looking for a place and a way to survive, regardless of the risk to their lives.” ... Having economic resources to invest in people is one of the fundamental missions of my mandate. The transversal axis of the next budget that I will send to the national congress will be transparency and anti-corruption. It is impossible to find another moment in our history so full of sabotage to our country, but I did not come today to elaborate a story full of complaints, nor to deduce historical accounts of the past. The justice system will take care of that... We are committed to our proposal for democratic socialism so that the events that have embarrassed us will never be repeated. The refounding of Honduras begins with the reestablishment of respect for human beings, the inviolability of life, the security of citizens, no more death squads. No more silence in the face of femicides. No more hit men, no more drug trafficking, no more organized crime.

What would you do if people came into your house and beat you and beat your family, and then this aggressor wanted to sit down with you and say, “OK, be nice, and stay out of the country”? Imagine, they have violated President Zelaya's’s rights. They have invented accusations of crimes against him, when they never presented any order of arrest. They took him out, tied up, transferred him to another country, and now they sit him down to negotiate with the criminals.
We are going to concentrate our greatest efforts on 4 sectors permanently demanded by the citizens: Education, health, security and employment. They will be the real anchors to progress.
