Micheletti's party claims that Zelaya was taking authoritarian actions and becoming like Hugo Chavez, while Zelaya's party reports increases in police brutality, mass arrests of protesters, and intimidation of human rights groups since the coup. Both sides accuse the other of violating the constitution and human rights. There is disagreement around whether Zelaya resigned voluntarily or was removed by the coup, and both parties seek to legitimize their claims to power and counter the other side's narrative.
