The commemorative events officially began on Friday with a large popular concert at the Tegucigalpa Olympic Village, featuring live performances by Honduran group Cafe Guancasco and talented Cuban singer-songwriter Raul Torres.

As a culmination of the commemoration days of the tragic event, LIBRE members, the group led by Zelaya, will gather this Saturday outside the Presidential Palace, where President Xiomara Castro will preside over an official ceremony before marching to the headquarters of the National Electoral Council (CNE).

In addition to commemorating the constitutional order disruption 16 years ago, the peaceful rally will reach the CNE to protest against possible fraud in the November 30 general elections, which the highest authorities of the progressive group have denounced.
