ON JULY 31, Honduras Foreign Minister Enrique Reina issued an important statement with regards to developments in Venezuela, which read in full as follows: “The government of Honduras condemns any attempted coup d’etat in Venezuela — and the use of force by violent groups, calling for respect for the institutions and sovereign will of the Venezuelan people expressed at the polls.”
