We are tense. We know something is about to happen but we don't know what. The leisure activities of the resistance in recent days have given a space for a certain well-needed rest after so many days in the streets, but the fight is not over. Yesterday, Saturday the necessary homage was paid to the martyrs of July 5th in the plaza that witnessed their deaths: Theater actors, singers and speeches exhorting people people to not weaken in resisting the coup. Nonetheless there is a sort of return to normalcy in the cities that is reinforced by the constant reporting on the news that manages, in effect, to at least confuse us. Several of the compañeros whom we have seen since the first day haven't come in the past two days. We know they're okay, because our networks are on constant alert and if anything happens to one of us, we all quickly find out. We prefer not to ask questions about their absence. We are clear that if the resistance wants to overthrow the coup government of Micheletti, the marches, the road blockades and the concerts are not going to be sufficient. This government is not afraid of petroleum shortages, economic blockades, the cancellation of international loans, much less a minor group (as they call the thousands of men and women in the streets) shouting anti-coup chants.

The euphoria and indignation has passed, now comes planning and strategy. Are we prepared for this? The meetings of the coordinating committee of the national front against the coup (certain sectors, like the Liberal Party, prefer not to call it resistance), are a type of meeting of up to 60 people, in which basic operational questions are tirelessly discussed, agreements are reached and then ignored and, in search of consensus, actions are agreed upon which, in my judgment, will do little to challenge the coup bloc.

Last night they arrested the correspondents from Telesur, threatening them with serious consequences if they didn't leave the country. "Nothing is happening here," told them the police officer as he drove them to the station. The police, like broken records, only repeat the same thing over and over again: nothing is happening here, trying to convince themselves that in effect, we are all fine. They plan to deport them today, together with other members of the international press. If nothing is happening, that will be the case and they don't want to have foreign correspondents complicating things outside the borders.

There are many rumors about Mel having clandestinely entered the country. Nothing confirmed at the moment, but it certainly is a possibility. This could possibly break the tie we find ourselves in. It would motivate many people to come back to the marches, but it would also drive the repression. If he comes, and if he comes alone, I am sure there will be many deaths. At this moment a break is necessary in the structure that is maintaining this government: the Armed Forces. It is said that there are troops who maintain loyalty to Zelaya, but again, these are just rumors.

There is another leisure activity in the city center: resisting terror with art. As I mentioned earlier we no longer have a curfew, officially, because I definitely plan to continue following it until I am sure it is not a trick.

¡No pasarán!
