TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — The Honduran congress approved once again a "model cities" project that the country's Supreme Court had previously declared unconstitutional because it would create special development zones outside the jurisdiction of ordinary Honduran law.
Congressman Rodolfo Irias of the ruling National Party says the law "includes the necessary modifications" to answer concerns about unconstitutionality.
The vote was 110 to 13, with 5 abstentions.
The court's rejection of the plan led Congress to fire four of the court's five justices in December.
