The Facts and the Law Behind the Democratic Crisis of Honduras (Spanish)

El presente trabajo de investigación está dividido en dos partes. La Primera Parte analiza si la terminación del mandato del presidente Zelaya, el 28 de junio, estuvo o no de acuerdo a la Constitución y las leyes de Honduras. La conclusión general de esta parte es que tanto su “separación” a cargo del Congreso, como su expulsión a Costa Rica a cargo de las Fuerzas Armadas (FF. AA.) fueron inconstitucionales. La Primera Parte llega también a las siguientes conclusiones: (1) que la Corte Suprema de Justicia sí tiene la autoridad constitucional para juzgar al Presidente por cualquier delito, para suspenderlo de su cargo durante el juicio y para hacer efectiva su destitución como consecuencia de una sentencia condenatoria; (2) que, si el Ministerio Público y la Corte Suprema hubieran actuado conforme a la Constitución y las leyes, habría sido posible juzgar, suspender y destituir con éxito al presidente Zelaya por la comisión del delito de abuso de autoridad; (3) que, en vez de corregir las acciones inconstitucionales a cargo de las FF. AA. y el Congreso, la Corte Suprema optó por validarlas.

Bitcoin for Nonprofits: A Guide To Help Your Movement Achieve Financial Freedom
In the winter of 2018, Anna Chekhovich was sitting in the Moscow offices of the Anti-Corruption Foundation when the call came. Their bank accounts had been frozen. All of them, overnight, on orders from the Kremlin. For most organizations, this would be a death sentence: no salaries, no legal fees, no operational budget, no oxygen. But years earlier, when the political climate was already darkening and Chekhovich could feel the walls closing in, the foundation had quietly begun accepting Bitcoin donations. It was a precaution, almost an afterthought at the time, but it became one of the key things keeping them alive.
