EU suspends $90m aid to Honduras
The European Union has suspended more than $90m (63m euros; £54m) in aid to Honduras in the wake of a coup there.
It follows the failure of talks to resolve the country's political crisis.
President Manuel Zelaya was ousted from office by troops on 28 June over his plans to hold a referendum on changing the constitution.
The current interim government, led by Roberto Micheletti, has rejected a proposal that Mr Zelaya return as leader of a unity government.
The EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in a statement: "In view of the circumstances, I have taken the difficult decision to suspend all budgetary support payments.
NOT SURPRISING BUT DISGUSTING.
THE INTERIM GOVERNMENT IS THE LEGAL GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO THE HONDURAN CONSTITUTION.
BUT THE EU - LIKE OBAMA AND CHAVEZ AND CASTRO - WOULD RATHER HONDURAS HAS A SOCIALIST THAN A MAN WHO RESPECTS DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW.
THIS ZELAYA GUY WAS GOING TO FIX THE RESULTS OF HIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM! AND YET AFTER THIS IS KNOWN, THE EU STILL HAS THE AUDACITY TO SUSPEND AID! SHEESH!
- THE LEFTIES WHO RUN THE EU: THEY'RE IMMORAL SCUM.
- AND ANOTHER THING: THERE WAS NO REFERENDUM ON THIS NOR WAS THERE A VOTE IN THE EU PARLIAMENT; IT WAS DONE BY UNDEMOCRATIC FIAT.
- AT LEAST THE EU IS CONSISTENT.
