Honduras' de
Facto Leader Rejects Call To Quit Power
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras'
de facto leader Roberto Micheletti said
Tuesday that he would not resign from his
post until the president-elect takes office
on Jan. 27, 2010.
"I am not going to give up and leave the
office until Jan. 27 as it is regulated in
the Constitution," said Micheletti.
"Even if the world, including the countries
that have been hating us, asks me to do it,
I will not do it."
Micheletti was asked to resign by
president-elect Porfirio Loboon Monday
night, local media reported.
"I was elected by the Congress and the only
one can depose me is the National Congress.
I am not leaving because I think ... there
is no agreement on my departure," Micheletti
said.
He also said ousted President Manuel Zelaya
is no longer the president anymore. "He is a
common citizen."
