Crisis, Coupists Delay Tactics
Continue
TEGUCIGALPA - The
Honduran National Congress has yet to define
when to examine the restitution of Manuel Zelaya as President, stance that popular
leaders describe as a delay by local
coupists.
Members of the National Front against the
Coup in Honduras are still near the National
Congress building for a fourth consecutive
day, to demand the restitution of Manuel
Zelaya.
Almost a week away from the agreement to
solve the Honduran political crisis, the
cupule of the legislative organ maintains
the date in which it will summon
parliamentarians in order to decide on the
pact subscribed among the delegates of
Zelaya and coupist leader Roberto Micheletti
in suspense.
For leftwing deputy Silvia Ayala, of the
Unificacion Democratica Party, the delay of
the unicameral parliament reflects the
coupists� tactics trying to prolong the
usurpation of the power, against the will of
the Honduran people. In a demonstration in
front of the Congress Ayala told the press
that the Hondurans will maintain their
protest to demand a convoking to the
deputies to an extraordinary session where
the reinstatement of Zelaya should be
discussed.
Diverse internal sectors, personalities and
international organizations coincide in
criticizing the slowness and the
discrepancies when applying Tegucigalpa-San
José's Agreement finally, signed the past
October 30.
According to the parliament's president,
José Ángel Saavedra the organization will
not delay to the debate on the return of the
constitutional leader.
Composed by 128 parliamentarians, the
Congress will determine if it proceeds to
bring the leadeship of the Executive Power
to its previous state to June 28 until the
conclusion of the current government period,
January 27, 2010.
