Honduras Coup at Ibero-American Summit
SAN JOSE - The crisis created by the coup
d''etat in Honduras will be the center of
debates at the 19th Ibero-American Summit in
Portugal on November 20-December 1, the
Costa Rican Foreign Ministry said.
Although the slogan of the meeting is
Knowledge and Innovation, the political
conflict in Honduras will certainly be the
focus of debates and discussions, Foreign
Minister Bruno Stagno pointed out.
The summit will begin a day after the
general elections called by the de facto
regime in Honduras, which have been
condemned by broad popular sectors and the
international community.
The United Nations, the Organization of
American States (OAS), the Rio Group and the
Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our
America (ALBA) have said they would not
recognize the elections under the de facto
regime.
On June 28, hooded soldiers kidnapped
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and took
him by force to Costa Rica.
After two fruitless attempts to return to
Honduras, Zelaya returned by surprise on
September 21 and has been in the Brazilian
Embassy in Tegucigalpa since then. |
