Arias Won't Mix Words
With Micheletti
Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias, has
decided to stay out of the war of words with
Honduras de facto president, Roberto
Micheletti, who said that Arias does not
have the moral right to judge the situation
in Honduras after Arias publicly said he
would be attending the transfer of powers
ceremony in that country.
Arias, earlier this week, said that he would
not attend the swearing in of Porfirio Lobo,
who was elected president, if he is to
receive the presidential sash from
Micheletti.
Arias suggested that the sash be handed to
Lobo by another government official rather
than Micheletti, who headed the interim
government in Honduras, a government that
was not recognized by Costa Rica and many
others, after the destituion of Honduras'
president Manual Zelaya last June.
The transfer of powers ceremony is scheduled
for January 27.
"This man (Arias) offends my country every
time he speaks, we demand more respect for
our president elect", said Micheletti in a
strong statement to the press after learning
of the Arias decision.
