Honduras' Micheletlli Says Ready For
Anything, Even Relinquishing Power
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras'
de facto leader Roberto Micheletti said
Monday that the door for dialogue to solve
the country's political crisis remained
open, and he was ready for anything, even
relinquishing power.
"We are permanently ready for dialogues and
to leave power if Mr. Zelaya does so,"
Micheletti announced.
This is the first time he talked to the
media since negotiations with ousted
President Manuel Zelaya's representatives
began on Oct. 7. The negotiations ended last
week without reaching a compromise.
Zelaya, who was forced to go into exile to
Costa Rica and is now hiding in the
Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital
city, told his supporters on Sunday that he
expected an agreement would soon be reached.
The deposed president has boycotted the Nov.
29 elections and demanded his reinstatement
before that. But Micheletti said elections
must go ahead.
The de facto government led by Micheletti
has not received the recognition of the
international community.
