Serrano Condemns Honduran Coup

Since the coup, the new govenrment has continued to refuse to step down and has denied President Zelaya re-entry into Honduras, Serrano is now cosponsoring a resolution in the House to call for the return of President Zelaya and the end of the coup.

"The United States has a long history of interfering in Latin America," said Serrano. "This is an opportunity to use our influence to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law. We must make it clear that we support duly elected democracies, even if the elected leaders may frequently disagree with us. The long-term stability of these countries is vastly more important than short-term policy disagreements. I look forward to the peaceful return of President Zelaya and a resolution of the lingering disagreements in Honduras through the established legal processes."
