The article also quotes OAS Secretary General Insulza as urging both Zelaya and President Micheletti “to comply with the agreements and restore the democratically elected president “‘without further subterfuges.’” Again, Insulza maintains that the accord requires Zelaya’s reinstatement, immediately, and he now seems to contend that President Micheletti (rather than the National Congress) should just do it. No wonder Insulza is persona non grata.

“Zelaya refused to join a new ‘unity’ government on Friday after it became clear he would not be heading it. . . . He had agreed to the accord “thinking it would be his ticket back to power.” With no decision yet by the National Congress on Zelaya’s reinstatement, President Micheletti proceeded to form the unity government without him. It is difficult to understand what else President Micheletti could have done under the accord.

Zelaya stated, “It’s absurd what they are doing, trying to mock all of us, the people who elected me and the international community that supports me. We’ve decided not to continue this theatre with Mr Micheletti.” He urged Hondurans to boycott the presidential election, and apparently the government is preparing for more pro-Zelaya demonstrations.

How dare the Honduran National Congress, the Supreme Court (which has not yet advised the Congress) and President Micheletti mock Zelaya and the “international community” by acting within the framework of the accord! It strikes me that by urging the “resistance movement” on and declining to nominate members of the unity government, Zelaya is the one “mocking” not only the Honduran Government but the international community as well.

It will be interesting to hear what the Obama Administration has to say about this turn of events, which must be embarrassing.

Leave the Snake people of Honduras!! Viva Micheletti the Tangerine Honduran Milk Snake King!

“Micheletti said the unity government had been created even though Zelaya had not submitted his own list of candidates.

“Everybody, with the exception of Mr. Zelaya, recommended Hondurans to lead the institutions of our country as part of the new government.”

Based on the photo of Zelaya associated with the linked article, he seems able to leave the Brazilian embassy. It shows him exiting a car and the caption reads,

“Zelaya met with officials from the United States and several Latin American countries in an effort to gather international support for his claim to resume his presidency. (Larry Downing/Reuters)”

However, according to the New York Times, Zelaya “is still a virtual prisoner in the Brazilian Embassy. . . .”

ROTFL. We will never know, and for some people that is enough to make it a irrefutable fact whatever they postulate.
You can’t just throw up alleged intentions, and then claim it as a fact.

Pelaut, I’ve written over 200 articles on the Honduran crisis! You can find my blog by clicking my name. I’ll be soooooooo glad when all this is over.
