Micheletti
Wants To Shake Hands With Nicaragua's Ortega
Managua - Honduran post-coup leader Roberto
Micheletti said Wednesday he wishes to shake
hands with Nicaraguan president Daniel
Ortega who hosts ousted Honduran President
Manuel Zelaya.
Micheletti, former president of the Honduran
Congress, was appointed president after the
June 28 coup that exiled President Zelaya.
Micheletti said that he respected Ortega and
wanted to talk with him because "the Central
American (people) are brothers," though he
does not share Oretega's political view.
Micheletti made the remarks on the
Nicaraguan radio station 15 de septiembre,
owned by Enrique Quinonez, deputy head of
the Nicaraguan Constitutionalist Liberal
Party. .
He noted that if Zelaya returns to Honduras
he will be taken to court for crimes against
the Constitution, and there will be no
amnesty for him.
Ortega invited the ousted Honduran president
Zelaya to stay in Nicaragua to demand
reinstatement. He accused Micheletti of
being supported by coup soldiers. |
