Venezuela PSUV to US: Define Honduran stand

The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) requested on Monday US President Barack Obama make a categorical pronouncement and take actions in rejection of the coup in Honduras.

On behalf of the leadership of the country's largest party, Ramon Rodriguez convened a debate of international ideas to interpret the reality of what is happening in the national context in Honduras.

This call for Obama to define his position joins similar demands by politicians and representatives of the Venezuelan society, who have warned of the US interference in the case and are wondering what has been the role of the US president in all this.

Rodriguez urged the US president to go "beyond nice words" and set a clear stand about the coup he described as an action to try to check the advances of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA).
