mistake - get the facts right
July 21, 2009, 12:06pm (report abuse)The reasons seem a little weak to me and without facts, as compared to HR619...
and there is a mistake: in June 2009, Zelaya did not have 18 months left, but only 7 months (until end of January 2010).

July 21, 2009, 12:59pm (report abuse)It is important for the people to understand our Constitution. It provides that when you do what Zelaya did, automatically ceases being President.
That is what just happened, so when the US and other countries ask for Zelaya's return to the Presidency, they are asking us (the Hondurans) to do something illegal, which is to place in the Presidency someone who is no longer President and who can no longer be President again by mandate of the Constitution itself. (See Art. 239)
Please understand that Honduras is satisfied with what happened and do not want the international comunity to intevene and impose something illegal that the hondurans we do not want.

The US Embassy in country knows the facts are: That Zelaya was committing a crime when he disregarded the Constitution. Recently, it was said that Zelaya had had a business relationship whith Hugo Llorens, the current US Ambassador in Honduras. I sure will hate to see this being true...
