lpv:translated text	"We have reached the second reading with changes which are no more than a tug of war between Parliament, the Commission and the Council, a power struggle resulting from the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. The objective is control of an instrument which, they say, is aimed at the ‘promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide’ but which, in practice, has in itself been an attack on democracy. Look at the example of Honduras, where the EU has used this instrument to legitimise the power resulting from the coup that deposed the legitimately elected president, and the violations of that country’s constitution. It legitimises a power associated with the brutal increase in murders, particularly of members of the resistance front against the coup, journalists and their families, and with the occupation and expulsion of farmers from their land. Let us also look at the contradiction that exists in the signing, by the authorities that are the result of the coup in Honduras, of a so-called ‘EU-Central America Association Agreement’, which includes a clause demanding respect for human rights and democracy. What is becoming increasingly evident is the hypocritical way in which the EU uses its supposed preoccupation with human rights: by interfering to promote the agents who are willing to defend the interests of big capital in the EU."@en1
