Inga fristäder i Honduras

The Honduran Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional a project to build privately-run cities, with their own police and tax system.  The "model cities" project was backed by President Porfirio Lobo, who said it would attract foreign investment and create jobs  By 13 votes to one, Supreme Court judges decided that the proposal violated the principle of sovereignty.

Det är viktigt med att ha suveränitet. Annars kanske folk kommer in i ens land och investerar en massa i industrier, och öppnar upp för folk att fly från ett system de ogillar.
An American company was expected to invest US$15m in the initial phase of construction of the first city. ... President Lobo said thousands of jobs would be created in the impoverished Central American country. ... The inspiration for his "model cities" were Singapore, Macao and Hong Kong"
Men, det är tur att Honduras slipper denna plåga. För en sådan frihet är bara feodalism maskerad.
"[The decision] is great news for the Honduran people. This decision has prevented the country going back into a feudal system that was in place 1,000 years ago," said lawyer Fredin Funez."
Får hoppas att det kan gå på ändå, eller att projekten tar vid i något annat land, som Michael Strong hänförde till.
