Honduras Invitation To EU-LatAm Summit Criticized http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2010/april/10/centralamerica10041003.htm

European Union Deputy from United Left Party Willy Meyer criticized the Spanish government on Friday for inviting Honduran President Porfirio Lobo to the 6th European Union-Latin America and Caribbean Summit to be held in May.Meyer considered that the invitation made to Lobo by the administration of President Jose Luis Zapatero comes along with the recognition of legitimacy of a government derived from an electoral process not recognized by the international community.

The Spanish representative to the European Union holds that the Latin American political scene could be shaken by similar military coups if the international community admits and recognizes such actions instead of sanctioning them.Meyer also called Zapatero's executive to keep in mind that brutal human right violations are staged in that Central American nation under Lobo's administration, mentioning as an example the killing of farmers, professors, and journalists opposed to the current regime installed in Honduras.
