I think there is some serious misinformation going on. His "fast tracking towards dictatorship" was a non binding referendum about whether there should be an additional vote on whether to rewrite the constitution. So it seems to me that the people would decide whether to suggest that a new constitution would be put to a vote. A constitution, by the way, that was written during their last dictatorship. Now, whatever charges may be brought against Zelaya, and he is no saint, there is zero doubt that he was removed from power illegally, and that coup describes that perfectly. Furthermore, there is no doubt that the military has taken seriously anti-democratic measures, like firing on protesters, since the events started to unfold.
