This article considers the emergence of the social movement in resistance to the military coup in Honduras as a logical continuation of a movement that had been gaining momentum throughout the 2000s. Contrary to much mainstream analysis, this paper insists that it was the strength of the social movement that actually pushed former President Manuel Zelaya towards a project of reform in the first place, which eventually prompted the Right-wing coup in response. Instead of a spontaneous rising of people in support of a deposed president in 2009, then, the resistance is here understood as a continuous struggle against neoliberalism in various forms. Drawing heavily from interviews and research in Honduras, this is one of the first systematic English-language analyses of the roots of the current Honduran social movement
