• Central America Honduras: blows and kicks in the Constitution of Congress

Xiomara Castro has written today the first chapter for the hope of a country, Honduras, always beaten.

Because of nature, because of poverty, because of drug trafficking and because of emigration.

She is the first woman to take presidential office, the fourth in Central America and the only one currently on the continent, who

.

"The economic catastrophe I am experiencing is unparalleled in the country's history. With the 700% increase in debt, poverty increased to 74% to make us the poorest country in Latin America. This figure explains the caravan of thousands of people who flee to the United States looking for a place and a way to subsist regardless of the risk to their lives," said Xiomara, already with the presidential sash on his chest, before almost 30,000 people who filled the National Stadium in Tegucigalpa. "The special guest, number 1, the Honduran people," as the official

of the act repeated.

In this way, Mel Zelaya's wife closes the cycle opened after the 2009 coup against her husband.

His challenge will be to show that he does not want to get lost in the same labyrinth that trapped Zelaya and his revolutionary plans, encouraged from Caracas.

At the moment, the presidential inauguration distributed similar honors to the couple, always hand in hand, something confirmed after the president's first political decision: she has appointed her son Héctor Manuel Zelaya as private secretary and her nephew José Manuel Zelaya as new Minister of Defense.

In Congress will be Pichu, one of his daughters, who is already preparing for future elections.

And, above all, the former ousted president, the strong man of Libre and the new power.

If anyone had any doubts, today's ceremony cleared them up:

and staged a kind of "return to democracy" with the presidential bands.

Witnesses of the new scenario were the US Vice President Kamala Harris, with emigration as the main point of her agenda, and King Felipe VI, together with an important group of ideological allies, such as the former presidents Cristina Fernández and the Brazilian Dilma Rousseff, including María Gabriela Chávez, the daughter of the "supreme commander".

All the Central American presidents were absent from the historic meeting, except the Costa Rican Carlos Alvarado.

For missing, even José Orlando Hernández, the outgoing president of Honduras, who is facing serious accusations of drug trafficking from the United States, did so.

His legacy is already part of the dark pages of catracha history, as the president was in charge of repeating, with figures and complaints, in her first speech.

Nor did the presidents of the three dictatorships (Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela) appear

, who are convinced that they will have Xiomara's support in their international battles.

A Honduran left that has regained its sanity after a week of rebellion, which provoked the conflict between two parliaments with their two presidents.

Ultimately, it was neither a conspiracy nor a coup, as they justified themselves.

The issue was much lighter:

.

The rebels, led by Jorge Cálix, joined the national party at the end and allowed Luis Redondo to take office as legislative president to impose the presidential sash on Castro.

In just one week, the embarrassing kicking and punching fight in Parliament turned into a battery of

between friends.

And so happy...
