Argentine president joins Zelaya in return to Honduras

From the Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina:

CFK to join Zelaya in return to Honduras

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will join Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in his return to that country, after a coup overthrew his government on Sunday, an unidentified source in the government told reporters in Buenos Aires.

“The President will be among the delegation of the Association of American States that will travel to Honduras with Zelaya,” said the source. The decision of the Kirchner administration was adopted “to show the clear political will of the region to return the ousted authority to his post,” he added.

Zelaya, a leftist president who is very close to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, was captured by a military operation on Sunday and he was brought to Costa Rica …

The coup in Honduras was condemned by the OAS, the European Union, the UN and the government of the United States, which imports about 80 percent of Honduras’ exports.

It is to be hoped that the Pinochet wannabees of Honduras will give up peacefully; and will not try with violence, like the real Pinochet of Chile and the Argentine dictators did, to stop Zelaya from returning to work in the presidential office.
