Short Biography: Carlos Flores

My refer is Carlos Roberto Flores Facusse and I am the pre sidetrack President of the Liberal society. I was born on March 1, 1950 in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa to Oscar A. Flores and Margarita Facusse Flores. I am a graduate from LSU, getting an undergraduate in industrial engineering and a master degree in internationalistic trade and finance. While at LSU, I developed my leadership qualities by becoming the President of the Honduras scholarly person Association and chartering the first and only Hispanic fraternity on campus know as Phi Iota Alpha.Outside of academics, I would also find my future espouse woman Mary Flakes at LSU soon after receiving my masters degree, we got married in 1974. After getting married, my wife and I returned to Honduras where I began active in private and public committees such as the Honduran underlying Bank and the Institute of Social Security. Additionally, I went to serve at La Tribuna, the largest newspaper in Honduras that my fath er co-founded. During the 70s, I became part of political life, get together the Liberal Party.I would become a congressman, representing the department (similar to a province) of Francisco Morazan. This mother served as a stepping stone to my later success in the party as I became Minister of the Presidency (equivalent to Vice President) under the rule of kind president Roberto Suazo from 1982 to 1984. In 1994, I became President of the Congress four days later, I was nominated and eventually became the President of Honduras.During my presidencys infancy, I was hit with the huge challenge Hurri stande Mitch. Hurricane Mitch pull downed thousands of people, displaced millions much, and destroyed the national economy Honduras was spirit at a minimal of 20 years to recover from what myopic we had. I orchestrated the successful raising of over $600 million of international aid from financial institutions and countries and these funds were directed at rebuilding Honduras infrast ructure, artless and industrial economic sectors.My presidency was also marked by strengthen of the constitution, reducing the power of the military in the political operations of the rural, and highly a new punishable code, which in part created a new, free Supreme Court. As to the issues at hand, I am deeply relate with the road that President Zelaya is on. Although on the surface he portrays a people-oriented, state-enhancing precept to his constituency, the actions President Zelaya be making forecast a different mental imagery entirely one that Latin American countries meet specifyn all similarly well.From siding with ALBA soon after his presidency began to economic and social policies that equipment casualty not only his party but the Honduran people to siding against the coupled States (one of our trusted allies), President Zelayas work so utmost should instigate even the highest supporters of Zelaya of Venezuela and their woes with Hugo Chavez. As the head of his party, I and the Liberal Party have been weary of where his loyalties lie and his true motives as president as he consistently alienates his party supporters by doing things almost unilaterally.Now, with these new developments of studying the country in put in to change the constitution and consider re-elections is absurd. We as a party, a people, and a country cannot stand to watch Honduras become Venezuela when we have been popular for so long thus, I, along with others I hope, will do what is necessary within our respective beas to not only prevent this poll from happening but to reign in Zelaya in gild to remind him that he is in fact the President of Honduras and not the President of himself.In the very(prenominal) vein, fixing the power struggle mingled with the three branches of government activity can be done with functioning parts, starting with the President. If the President and the Congress are unwilling, for whatever reason, to communicate, compromise, and c ollaborate when necessary, then all that can be execute is a war between the abusive power of the President versus the consumption of the law by those who write it. When I was the President of Honduras, I do some changes in the way the legislative, judiciary, and executive branches worked together in order to get the most order in the country.I moved judicial and penal reforms forward, established an anticorruption commission, and got the passage of a new penal code base on the oral accusatorial system and a law that created an separate Supreme Court. I did this in the hopes of creating a ground work for more accountability toward the beefed-uper legislative and executive parts of our country. Additionally, age still universe loyal to my party, I have respected both sides of the isle in polity making and debate to ensure that the best laws were written and discussed for the sake of the people.Unbalance of power starts with an open President who doesnt have himself as deem one. It quickly branches outward to demanding the respect of the Congress and receiving due communication between the President and the other two branches of the government. Lastly, each branch has to be strong independent of the others and able to work independently of the other parts while cognizant of how their actions affect the other branches. When we are able to enact a plan like this, then and only then will see the cohesiveness of a people and a country of Honduras.The foreign policy of Honduras and the hassles on that pointof are strongly tied to the problem of our President. Because of his actions, our relationship with the United States is weakening while our bond to Venezuela and to a lesser extent Cuba are becoming not only more evident but stronger. This problem in my eyes is relatively simple cut the source to kill the head. We as a body need to find creative and profitable ways to remove the ties to Hugo Chavez and remind our President that he presides over Hondu ras the democratic country and not Venezuela the dictatorial country.By aligning ourselves with the U. S. , we are able to not only keep the freedoms we have but able to prevent jeopardizing our countrys international image by associating with a volatile government as Venezuelas. As we say in Spanish, Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres (Rough English translation Birds of a feather visual modality together) Honduras would be much better off flying with the United States. Although there are few specific actions that can be considered mine in any of the topics, I am highly aware of the power I hold and the actions I am able to produce.As the leader of the Liberal Party, I am able to lead 48. 5% of the Congress in order to make decisions not only about our Presidents queries on constitutional reformation but also about rebalancing our branches of government and to a lesser extent Honduran foreign policy. Additionally, I believe that my work in the private and the public sector a nd my previous presidential mapping allows me to communicate and work with business sectors and the legislative and military sectors via prior experience to help any other situations that might arise.
