The second count was encouraged by the continuous transmission of Radio Uno, from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon, while passing comments, interviews, analysis and numerous phone calls from excited people in resistance.
There are still uncounted closed boxes from different communities, which will be opened and counted this week, under the responsibility of the members of the regional commission.

Shadows in the making
Last week, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (tseh) continued to promote meetings between political parties to push for reforms to the electoral law which aims to "facilitate the plebiscite and referendum," but what worries them most is the "financial autonomy "of that organ so that " the same doesn't happen to them as when Zelaya refused to transfer resources to them, "they explained.
Meanwhile, many voices in the legislature have already expressed an unusual sympathy for "a constituent assembly under the law." Just as the holder of the de facto regime, Porfirio Lobo, who also proposed to Congress his own ideal constituent, without having anything similar happening to him like the reaction against Zelaya.
Apparently, the Civic Democratic Union (UCD), considered the leading civil society organization managing the coup, have allegedly already threatened with a lawsuit against the legal consultation and with "sedition charges" against the leaders of the Front, according to what was reported.
