    Zúñiga referenced that paralysis during the rebellion, telling reporters the military was tired of the infighting and was seeking “to restore democracy.”

    The infighting between the two parties is what democracy is. One party getting everything it wants and the other nothing is called a dictatorship.

    Way to bury the ledge AP. The general claims this was a political false flag ordered by the president 🤣.

    No idea if that is true but that’d be so funny.

    There’s no need to “restore democracy” when you don’t overthrow it in the first place.

    Restoring the illegally put into place former president is not exactly restoring democracy.
