Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and his Argentine counterpart Cristina Kirchner said on Wednesday that they would not recognize the results of the elections to be organized by the post-coup de facto government in Honduras. The two had a working meeting in Brazil and issued a joint statement afterward.
Da Silva and Kirchner said that Jose Manuel Zelaya, should be reconstituted to his function so that constitutional order and democracy is reestablished in the country.
“We demand the immediate restitution of president Manuel Zelaya. On the contrary, the elections to be held on Nov. 29 will not be recognized and a very dangerous precedent will be set,” said Lula in his speech.
The Brazilian president added that this is the common position of all Latin American and Caribbean countries.
An appeal has been made on the Honduran government to stop hostile actions toward the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, where president Zelaya has been sheltered.

Tell Brazil to stop violating international treaties by harboring a criminal.
How about this solution, re-instate z’liar (which would be a violation of the Honduran Constitution), but then IMMEDIATELY arrest him on charges of treason, and throw his but where it belong, in prison!!! then deny him ANY contact with the outside world until a new president is sworn into office.
Stay STRONG Honduras, only 11 days until the elections of the free people of Honduras…..

How surprising is that??
Has anybody noticed that Argentina & Brazil are not only being led by Socialist leaders, but also have some of the strogest economies in S.A.??
What a coicidence, hah?
I wonder what Chavez’s plan really is, could be that he is trying to create a controlling group for the region?

And, I almost forgot the most important question:
Who cares, really??
It is not like we do not know they are on the wrong side (for Honduras) anyway.
Argentina’s president has some private interest in keeping Chavez happy, after all he paid for her way in, and Lula, well, we already know about him, with Zelaya in his embassy and all.
But it is really insulting that the leaders of these countries feel that they have the right to tell the Honduran people who to place in power, and that it has to be somebody of their liking.
Get this message clear:
HONDURAS HAS SAID NO TO COMMUNINSM

Brazil who facilitated Zelaya’s return to Honduras but denied it now is stating that they won’t recognize the upcoming elections. Which once agian proves that Brazil was the one who facilitated Zelaya’s return to Honduras. The majority of Honduras have made their voices heard that they do not want Zelaya back in office. Apparently Brazil is not listening.

Sorry guys, I guess I forgot to mention that it is also true that, even though Argentina & Brazil have been countries with very strong economies for many decades now, since the Socialists took over there are some very serious problems in there now.
Sounds like Chavez telling his people to wash every other 3 days and to shower toguether when possible.
They seem to specialize at destroying economies in their search for a “Workers Paradise” that normally turns into slacery.

So Hugo Chavez likes to wear Hugo Boss ha?
That is almost funny, and it would be if could forget that he buys those things with the money he steals from the Venezuelan people.
Why is it that at this date and age people still can be so stupid as to follow “trash” like that around?
