The other day I had the privilege of covering the Honduran national president, Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo and the minister of security, Oscar Alvarez, left, during an innauguration for the island's newest cruise ship destination. "Problemas de seguridad" have been a serious issue on the island as of late and the diplomatic pair acted bold in their rhetoric, condemning not only those who have acted in violent acts, but also the buzz which surrounds it. However many have argued their respective speeches were nothing more than a spoke within the political wheel that constantly revolves around what has been said before, and the lack of tangible responses. Mostly to ease the nerves of the wealthy gringos that this island so desperately leans upon in terms of financial thinking.
