Helping the campesinos. She was working for a new government and a refinding for a new democracy. She was assassinated because she wanted to help working people and for her people that had been hard hit. In more than 150 indigenous assemblies, our community decided that it did not want that hydroelectric dam.Berta Caceres stood up for her people but Honduras is one of the highest places where they assassinat environmentals. The population today, those who have been in resistance who are from the LIBRE party, are challenging the repressive apparatus, with the absence of the construction of real power from the communities, but now these people are voting enthusiastically for the LIBRE party, that we hope will be distinct from the other political parties.
