Brazil’s foreign minister, Celso Amorim, stated that the incident was just a “mistake and a misunderstanding,” and that by the time he had been informed of the incident, the problem had been resolved.
The foreign minister said the government of Porfirio Lobo fired the immigration official responsible, and the Brazilian diplomat entered the country without further incident. The diplomat was not initially allowed to enter Honduras because Brazil broke off relations and has not recognized the Lobo administration. Amorim said the quick solution of the incident was a good sign that the new president is determined to set things right as soon as possible.
Although Amorim said that the President had acted in a politically positive manner when he negotiated a safe passage for the ousted leader, Manuel Zelaya, he stated that Lobo needs to advance further and work more in the direction of “reconciliation” to put an end to political and social instability.
“I see some positive steps on the path to reconciliation. We will wait and see how this evolves.” “The fact that president Lobo went to the Brazilian embassy and escorted Zelaya to the airport was a good indication of reconciliation.” Reconciliation is of fundamental importance, Brazil’s foreign minister stressed.

When I read the first paragraph, my response was “GOOD”.
Then I continued reading, and was dismayed that Lobo would fire an immigration employee for refusing to allow an official of that government that supported a criminal z’liar, and in doing so violated international laws about harboring a criminals within an embassy.
Well Lobo…. you have sent a message to all employees of the Honduran Government and to the world…………… that you also support Brazil and z’liar………. and their marxist/leftist ways!!
We the people are already sorry we voted for you……. you are just another marxist/leftist who hid the true you until you were able to get elected.
unfortunately we will have to put up with you until the next election… ….. unless you too try to violate the Constitution of our great Country, then we will also throw your bu*t out of office just like we did to z’liar.
I for one am waiting to see if you follow obama and try to fundimentally change our great Country.
I think Celso Amorin has to be re-oriented again what his government did few months ago hosting a “criminal of Honduras ” in their embassy. So, let me make it clear to you Celso
Amorin about your statement that Pepe Lobo is
determined to set things right…..excuse me…
there was nothing wrong with the administration of “president Michellitti” the mess that your criminal amigo did for three years was fixed by president Michellitti during his almost 6 1/2 months and the wishes of the majority of the people were followed not his communist ideologies Z’liar and his leftist amigos wanted to inject to the minds of people of honduras. Anyway, my message to President Lobo, people elected you because they have trust in you so, please don’t let them down.
Spare that country for another Z’liar alike administration……SAYONARA
