One thing that may help us better understand the political crisis in Honduras, is the opinion of the Honduran people about the removal of Manuel Zelaya from the presidency.
In this regard, according to a survey made by Gallup in Honduras, to the question: "Do you think the ouster of Honduran president Manuel Zelaya was justified or unjustified?" 41% of respondents described as justified the president's removal from office, 28% disagree with his ouster and 31% are not sure. This study was conducted from July 1 through 4, 2009, with a sample size of 1204 Hondurans, for a margin of error of 2.8%.
It highlights that those who approve Zelaya's removal represent the majority of the Honduran people, while those who reject the measure are the minority. A reality that explains why the new government was able to establish itself with relative ease, because even with all the pressure and rejection of the international community, Hondurans give legitimacy to the removal from power of President Manuel Zelaya.
