At the General Assembly of 26 to 27 February were two main groups evident: While one side argued for the participation in the forthcoming elections, another group sat down for a time being a non-institutional path, that is, the further boycott of the illegitimate government of President Porfirio Lobo and a separate notice a Constituent Assembly.
Although many activists and observers represented a trend towards elections, the decision was made at the General Assembly yet different. The coup President Manuel Zelaya, who continues to live in exile and takes from there the representative role of the main coordinator of FNRP was an important trigger for the short-term change of opinion. In his communiqué in February he had written that it was not the moment to think about elections. The FNRP should beware of the "terrible way", "in the Assembly in a 'new' party to transform a traditional character" and thus lose the power of a social movement.
also boycott the meeting by some proponents of participation in elections in the newly formed Frente Amplio Electoral (Broad coalition, FAPER) are combined, was decisive for the result. Whether this alliance reunited with FNRP or involves a final split of the boycott is still unpredictable.
The meeting was finally held that voter turnout can be expected only when "conditions are right for it." This includes the majority FNRP the unconditional return of Zelaya and other political exiles, and the implementation of a self-convened Constituent Assembly and the amendment of electoral law. This could take the FNRP following as a social and political force in elections. A separation into a political party and a social movement they will thus prevent.
The Constituent Assembly is on the second anniversary of the coup, on 28 June 2011, to be convened. In addition to the regime continues to exert pressure, including through an early national general strike. Especially the peasant movements in the northern conflict zone Bajo Aguan Facusse support was pledged in her campaign against the repressive Palm oil plantation owners.
