Chaos in Honduras IV

While the riots have kind of cooled down, even though we do still have road blocks and we have two departments completely militarized, schools and hospitals are back to nearly normal, after the government has backed down on some of its laws that were threatening privatization of education and health.

But tonight things seem to have gotten really hot and I mean hot, the national power company has been steadily and stealthily over time privatized, the government part is now only employees who do maintenance work all other activities are done by a private company from Colombia called EEH who handles all administrative work as well as customer service.

Well this company is not really liked by the population, prices have sky rocketed and the service they provide is bad with blackouts being the normal now. Well tonight in San Pedro Sula the nation's second largest city at an EEH parking lot it is believed a group of people entered the parking lot and set fire to at least 30 company cars but some people are saying the number is at least 50.

Now this of course could be the population trying to take revenge on a company they feel is playing foul, but personally I think it is strange to see these types of places with so little security, I think it could also be the government trying to frame the opposition.

The thing is in Venezuela the opposition are looked as freedom fighters here they are labelled as criminals, something is wrong with the perception the media puts on these events.
