(Washington DC) -The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) released the following joint statement in response to the current situation in Honduras:

"The Congressional Hispanic Caucus calls on Roberto Micheletti and those responsible for the removal of President Zelaya to respect the rule of law and restore the constitutional order. While there may be honest differences of opinion on how to govern, the constitution of Honduras must not be disregarded. We fully support the efforts made by the Organization of American States, and we encourage our government to take the necessary diplomatic steps to ensure a peaceful restoration of the democratically elected government in Honduras."
