I'm Honduran. Zelaya was going against the constitution when he decided to be re-elected on a third consecutive term, without the vote of the people. As stated somewhere else, he was bringing over rigged votes from Venezuela.
The current president is not the result of a military coup. After Zelaya was overthrown (without violence), the military set up an interim government with a temporary president. He was president until democratic elections took place. We all voted and chose our current president (at least the majority).
I really pity how the rest of the world views this as a coup and say that our current government is not a valid one. Thanks CNN.
- rsanchez1 14y agoToo bad Zelaya didn't have the brilliant idea of packing the Supreme Court wit sympathizers like Ortega did down south, so that when he announced he was going to seek an illegal term the sympathizers in the court would give him legitimacy. Now, inexplicably Nicaragua has yet another Ortega term. Guess Chavez's oil money works better in Nicaragua than it does in Honduras.
