Zelaya: US nourishes Hondura's dictatorship

Mexico: Honduras' Constitutional President Manuel Zelaya told Mexico's La Jornada daily the change in the US stance has strengthened the dictatorship ruling in his country.

In an exclusive interview published by the Mexican daily today, the president said "we were left half the road, in the middle of the current," referring to Washington's stance. The deal reached on October 30 contains 12 points, and if one of them is not accomplished, the agreement is not valid, Zelaya pointed out, and added he made it clear he does not accept arrangements to legitimize the coup.

The US changed its policy regarding the Honduras situation, and they must respond to international law, because "I am the president of Hondurans, the one they say they recognize," he noted.

With its new stance the White House has weakened, split the international public opinion, the President stated.

The White House disobeyed the resolutions of the Organization of American States and the UN, while ignoring the agreement signed.

When La Jornada asked him if he hopes a change in the US attitude, the constitutional President affirmed they must comply with the commitments signed in the framework of OAS and the UN. Mexico, Prensa Latina
