Stage being set for possible clashes today



The curfew was lifted this morning so golpistas are organizing a pro-goriletti demonstration today in Tegu. It is being called the "white shirt" and "perfumed shirt" demonstration.

Public workers and employees of oligarchs are being forced to go to the march, under threat of being fired. Some poorer people are being offered 300 lempiras (about 15 dollars) to attend. People are being taken to the march in private enterprise buses.

Resistance callers to Radio Globo last night and this morning have been saying they will infiltrate the white shirt demonstration and beat the crap out of them if they can. One caller last night said "it has been our blood that has been spilled. Today it will be their blood."

Some of the gorilettis (not dressed in white shirts) have been seen with pistols, machetes and clubs, so if there are problems, the resistance will be blamed.

Globo is calling on public workers not to attend; that if they get fired, they will have their jobs back when Zelaya is restored to the presidency.
