After the fall of Morazán we have had miserable governments Carlos Turcios

Historian Carlos Turcios, executive secretary and director of the Casa de Morazán museum, expressed his discontent this Friday with the political trajectory of Honduras following the fall of national hero Francisco Morazán.

Turcios highlighted in the Cara a Frente forum on Channel 5 that, between 1824 and 1842, the country was a model in Central America, but since then it has declined dramatically.

“We have had miserable governments,” he said, stressing that only “the sparks of Soto and Rosa were attractive.”

Turcios made an urgent appeal to Hondurans, asking: “What happened to Honduras after the fall of the hero?” In his opinion, the country has gone “like a nosedive downwards.”

The historian stressed the importance of fighting to return Honduras to first place in Central America. “This requires a commitment from all sectors,” he emphasized.

Be reborn

He also called for a “renaissance” in the country, stressing the need to educate youth and children as an essential step towards national reconstruction.

Turcios also referred to a quote from Italian poet and writer Dante, recalling that “it is not what one says, but what one does” that truly defines a person’s character.

This idea is consistent with the legacy of Morazán, who emphasized tolerance as one of the main republican virtues.

“We Morazan supporters must begin to be tolerant,” he said, adding that “although there is still much to do, we are doing well, we are just getting started.”

Turcios said that values ​​and civility must be recovered to strengthen national identity. “Our country has no historical memory, we need civility, values ​​and thus strengthen our weak identity,” he said.
