Zelaya made the “comments” and “reminders” in a round table where, with his wife, Xiomara Castro, the Catholic priest Andres Tamayo, and his main political advisers, they reviewed the scope of the agreement signed by their representatives on Friday.
The hearing was broadcast from the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa at a radio station that has a member of its team of reporters inside the embassy. The explanation of Zelaya came a day after signing the agreement that he committed to in front of international witnesses that he would comply fully.
Zelaya noted that the timetable for implementation of the agreements provides that by Thursday, November 5th, there will be installed in the country a government of national unity and reconciliation.
In his view, Congress should have decided by that date on his reinstatement in office, because according to him, “this agreement, this dialogue, the resolutions of the OAS and the United Nations have only one purpose – to reverse the coup by placing the president in office who was illegally dismissed. “
“If the National Congress decides, in its session, it is going to reaffirm that what they did was correct, gentlemen, then we have done absolutely nothing but deceive the international community and the Honduran people with this agreement,” he said.
The interim government negotiators and members of Congress have said, for their part, the agreement does not condition building the unity and reconciliation government on the decision of Congress.

Does anybody remember just a few days ago, Micheletti asked to sue Brazil in the International Court? Why would he do that if he knew all this was pending and didn’t expect to win? Also, the article about Zelaya’s son was very interesting. I thought the U.S. must have done something to get him to sign, because he might be crazy, but he is not stupid. He can read the lines that this accord does nothing but what Micheletti said a week ago, let the court decide. So why would he sign? Apparently, the U.S. State department has realized that they were losing face big time, and now want to take all the credit. Clearly some behind the scenes deals are going down. Will we ever know the truth?
if he is regretting the agreement that is a very good sign…….but i am sure his working on a follow up ………..becouse he said he expects to be back in office nov.5………
i sure hope that i am wrong …… and mel does not get back in ……….. the congress has to be very carefull becouse they are dealing with a very determent …snake…
All I can say is I look forward to the day that z’liar is put where he belongs…… in prison.
Pity!!
POINT 2 OF THE AGREEMENT
“2. Regarding Renunciation of a Call for a National Constituent Assembly and Amending the Unamendable Articles of the Constitution
To achieve reconciliation and strengthen democracy, we reiterate our respect for the Constitution and the laws of our country, abstaining from calls for a National Constituent Assembly, either directly or indirectly, and also renouncing the promotion or support of any public consultation for the purpose of reforming the Constitution to permit presidential reelection, modify the form of Government or contravene any of the unamendable articles in our Founding Charter [constitution].
In particular, we will not make public statements or exercise any sort of influence inconsistent with Articles 5, 239, 373 and 374 of the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras and we will energetically reject any expression contrary to the spirit of said articles and the Special Law to Regulate Referendums and Plebiscites.”
ZELAYA HAD AGREED UPON
“The explanation of Zelaya came a day after signing the agreement that he committed to in front of international witnesses that he would comply fully.”
HE HAS THUS COMMITTED HIMSELF TO FULLY COMPLY TO:
– RESPECT ARTICLE 239 NOT ALLOWING HIS RE-INSTATEMENT
– RESPECT THE VOTE, THAT DISMISSES EVERY PRO-ZELAYA VOTERS BY VIRTUE OF ARTICLE 239
– RESPECT THE VOTE THAT CAN NOT LEGALLY RE-INSTATE HIM BECAUSE OF ARTICLE 239 WHICH IS EXPLICITLY RESPECTED BY THE AGREEMENT AND ZELAYA
😀
– HE HAS THUS COMMITED HIMSELF TO FULLY COMPLY TO HIS NON-REINSTATEMENT
😀
– If Zelaya is hoping to be reinstated, he ist not respecting Article 239.
– If he is not respecting article 239, he is not respecting the agreement he agreed to.
It he now regretting having swallowd the lure (Vote) together with the fishing gaff (Article 239)? 😉
All that supported him have fallen with him.
