The Civic Union organizations are the very ones to which USAID "democracy promotion" funds go. So this is what they're for -- a charade of 'popular' support for a brutal military coup.
Meanwhile, a woman who was prevented from going to work today at the Hospital Escuela told Radio Globo that the police and military are outside and inside there, threatening patients and medical personnel. The government is desperate to prevent documentation of their lethal attacks on the population in Colonia 21 de Noviembre and elsewhere.
