Wide shot of Maduro at podium STORYLINE: Stanford-educated businessman Ricardo Maduro, who campaigned for a "zero-tolerance" crackdown on crime after the murder of his son, was sworn in as Honduran president on Sunday. More than 45-thousand people gathered at the National Stadium in Tegucigalpa to watch as the presidential sash handed over from former President Carlos Flores Facusse to Maduro. Maduro has a four-year term. He is the 72nd president since Honduras won independence from Spain and the sixth consecutive president elected without military interference. Maduro, of the centre-right National Party, defeated Rafael Pineda of the center-left Liberal Party in elections in November. The 55-year-old Maduro, who has an economics degree from Stanford, has holdings in banks, shopping centers and export businesses in Honduras and El Salvador. He was president of the Central Bank from 1990 to 1994. In a country where 80 percent of the population lives in poverty, Maduro - like all the other presidential candidates - promised a more equal distribution of wealth. Its (m) 6.7 million people are among the poorest in the hemisphere. About (m) 2.6 million live on less than one dollar a day. But what characterised his campaign was a New York City-style crusade of zero tolerance for crime - also a major problem here. His 24-year-old son Ricardo Ernesto was shot to death in April 1997, apparently while resisting a kidnapping attempt. The Liberal Party for months tried to block his candidacy, arguing that the Panama-born Maduro was not eligible. Congress finally ruled that because his mother was Honduran, he could be considered Honduran by birth.
