Recap: Honduras’ Supreme Court may soon rule the 11 year old ZEDE, which was confirmed by two previous Supreme Courts, as retroactively unconstitutional 😱
Such a ruling would be unprecedented and result in the expropriation of the acquired rights of ZEDE residents/investors 😢
To get there, resident woke up at 4am in Morazan for a 4:30 departure because it was expected some people would be late 😁⁰⁰

As the residents outlined in their open letter, they simply wanted the government to not take away their their rights, jobs, homes, or communities! 🪧https://t.co/N11bcIB6ti
The Supreme Court should have to look their victims in their eyes before their destroying their lives 😢

⁰ZEDE residents hope that by humanizing the issue, the humans that will make and write court's decision will choose people over politics 🫂https://t.co/ob8deWEueS
