Political analyst Alejandro Bonilla described as sovereign, internationalist, anti-colonial, and anti-imperialist, the intervention of the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, at the UN General Assembly.

Tegucigalpa.- She spoke not only of the difficulties of a country but also emphasized the great problem that threatens humanity, which is transnational capital’, Bonilla commented in a dialogue with Prensa Latina.

According to the analyst, the first speech of the head of State before the multilateral organization filled the president with much courage and puts her on another plane on the political and international scale.

"It reminded me of those speeches made by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, with an anti-imperialist and socialist sense," he commented.

The member of the Libertad y Refundación (Libre) party referred to the country’s problems addressed by Castro, who blamed international capital for having sustained a dictatorship for 13 years.
