'Short Biography: Carlos Flores\r'

'My secernate is Carlos Roberto Flores Facusse and I am the pre siding President of the progressive Party. I was born on March 1, 1950 in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa to Oscar A. Flores and Margarita Facusse Flores. I am a down from LSU, getting an undergraduate in industrial engineering and a master degree in outside(a)ist trade and finance. While at LSU, I developed my leadership qualities by beseeming the President of the Honduras learner Association and chartering the first and solitary(prenominal) Hispanic trades union on campus known as Phi Iota Alpha.Outside of academics, I would also find my future wife bloody shame Flakes at LSU; soon after receiving my master’s degree, we got married in 1974. After getting married, my wife and I returned to Honduras where I began participating in hugger-mugger and public committees such as the Honduran underlying Bank and the Institute of Social Security. Addition all toldy, I went to track down at La Tribuna, the largest newspaper in Honduras that my induce co-founded. During the 70s, I became part of political life, joining the Liberal Party.I would become a congressman, representing the department (similar to a province) of Francisco Morazan. This receive served as a stepping stone to my later achiever in the party as I became regime minister of the Presidency (equivalent to Vice President) under the rule of slack electric chair Roberto Suazo from 1982 to 1984. In 1994, I became President of the carnal knowledge; four years later, I was nominated and at desire last became the President of Honduras.During my disposal’s infancy, I was eat up with the huge challenge: Hurricane Mitch. Hurricane Mitch killed thousands of people, displaced millions to a greater extent, and destroyed the national deliverance; Honduras was looking at a minimal of 20 years to recover from what little we had. I orchestrate the successful raising of over $600 million of international aid from fina ncial institutions and countries and these funds were directed at rebuilding Honduras infrastructure, agricultural and industrial economic sectors.My judicature was also marked by strengthening of the constitution, cut back the power of the multitude in the political operations of the country, and passing a new penal mark, which in part created a new, independent Supreme Court. As to the issues at hand, I am deeply come to with the road that President Zelaya is on. Although on the surface he portrays a people-oriented, country-enhancing dogma to his constituency, the actions President Zelaya be devising forecast a different vision just †one that Latin American countries form seen all too well.From siding with ALBA soon after his presidency began to economic and social policies that hurt not moreover his party yet the Honduran people to siding against the United States (one of our trusted allies), President Zelaya’s charm so far should remind even the highest supporters of Zelaya of Venezuela and their woes with Hugo C welcomez. As the head of his party, I and the Liberal Party have been weary of where his loyalties lie and his true motives as president as he consistently alienates his party â€Å"supporters” by doing things almost unilaterally.Now, with these new developments of â€Å"polling” the country in put to change the constitution and consider â€Å"re-elections” is absurd. We as a party, a people, and a country cannot stand to lookout station Honduras become Venezuela when we have been democratic for so long; thus, I, along with new(prenominal)s I hope, will do what is needful within our respective areas to not totally go on this â€Å"poll” from happening but to reign in Zelaya in secern to remind him that he is in fact the President of Honduras and not the President of himself.In the equal vein, fixing the power struggle in the midst of the triad single outes of government can be done w ith performance parts, starting with the President. If the President and the recounting are unwilling, for whatever reason, to communicate, compromise, and collaborate when necessary, then all that can be accomplished is a war between the black power of the President versus the manipulation of the law by those who write it. When I was the President of Honduras, I do some changes in the way the legislative, judiciary, and executive branches operateed in concert in order to get the most order in the country.I moved judicial and penal reforms forward, accomplished an anticorruption commission, and got the passage of a new penal code based on the oral accusatorial dust and a law that created an independent Supreme Court. I did this in the hopes of creating a ground work for more accountability toward the stronger legislative and executive parts of our country. Additionally, trance still being loyal to my party, I have respected both sides of the isle in indemnity making and de bate to ensure that the best laws were write and discussed for the sake of the people.Unbalance of power starts with an open President who doesn’t have himself as number one. It quickly branches outward to demanding the respect of the Congress and receiving due communication between the President and the other two branches of the government. Lastly, each branch has to be strong independent of the others and able to work independently of the other parts while certified of how their actions affect the other branches. When we are able to enact a plan like this, then and unless then will see the cohesiveness of a people and a country of Honduras.The hostile form _or_ system of government of Honduras and the difficultys thereof are strongly tied to the problem of our President. Because of his actions, our relationship with the United States is weakening while our bail to Venezuela and to a lesser extent Cuba are becoming not only more evident but stronger. This problem in my eyes is relatively fair: cut the source to kill the head. We as a body need to find creative and positive ways to remove the ties to Hugo Chavez and remind our President that he presides over Honduras the democratic country and not Venezuela the lordly country.By aligning ourselves with the U. S. , we are able to not only keep the freedoms we have but able to prevent jeopardizing our country’s international image by associating with a volatile government as Venezuela’s. As we say in Spanish, â€Å"Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres” (Rough English translation: Birds of a feather flock together); Honduras would be much meliorate off flying with the United States. Although there are few specific actions that can be considered â€Å"mine” in any of the topics, I am extremely aware of the power I hold and the actions I am able to produce.As the leader of the Liberal Party, I am able to lead 48. 5% of the Congress in order to make decisions not only about our President’s â€Å"queries on original reformation” but also about rebalancing our branches of government and to a lesser extent Honduran foreign policy. Additionally, I believe that my work in the underground and the public sector and my previous presidential government agency allows me to communicate and work with business sectors and the legislative and military sectors via prior experience to help any other situations that might arise.\r\n'
