to speak for the country or its people.
I'd say the Honduran people are speaking for themselves today, with (as reported by rabs) a 75% boycott of the election. That is "Honduras" speaking, and APPROVING the boycott.
We'll see if that number holds up. I don't know what its source is. It will be very difficult to trust any numbers in this election, after the golpistas are done with them. We can't expect John McCain's "International Republican Institute"--which has funneled $43 million of US taxpayer dollars to the golpistas rightwing political groups in Honduras--to monitor these fascist murderers and call them on padding the vote, or whatever they are going to do. That's the kind of group that Clinton dragged out of the US political cesspool to "monitor" the Junta 'election"--since the Carter Center, the OAS, the EU and all other reputable election monitoring groups declined to participate.
Anyway, there is at least one report of massive non-voting to protest the Junta.

EDIT: Rabs cites the source as follows (but no url)...
3 p.m. Honduran time
Zelaya spoke at noon and said according to reports he was getting, the abstention rate as of noon was 75 percent across the nation.
At some polling stations, there were more troops than voters. The only polling stations where lines had formed were in higher class neighborhoods where the elites support the golpistas. Here's the thread:
