Fewer adults in Honduras express confidence in the performance of Manuel Zelaya, according to a poll by CID-Gallup. 50 per cent of respondents say the president always or almost always does what is best for the country, down 16 points since January.
In November 2005, Zelaya—candidate of the Liberal Party (PL)—won the presidential election with 49.9 per cent of all cast ballots, defeating National Party (PN) nominee Porfirio Lobo Sosa. Less than 69,000 votes separated the two contenders. Zelaya took office in January 2006.
On May 7, Zelaya and Salvadoran president Antonio Saca signed a free trade accord with Taiwan. The deal still has to be ratified by the two countries’ local legislatures in order to be implemented. Zelaya said the agreement will “help end our poverty, end violence and end many issues that currently attack our peoples.”
