The former president said there is also the option of being transported to the capital’s Toncontin airport in a vehicle of the State of Honduras. The air terminal is located about 15 kilometers from the embassy, but the streets are narrow and traffic is congested in the afternoon.
Mr. Zelaya said he would travel with his wife, Xiomara Castro de Zelaya, his daughter Hortense, and their legal adviser and fugitive from justice, Rasel Tome, to the Dominican Republic, but move to Mexico shortly thereafter.
“I urge the resistance not to come to the embassy of Brazil because it would hinder my departure,” advised Zelaya.
Zelaya said he will leave in a jet with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez to the Caribbean after the presidential inauguration of Lobo Sosa.
The departure of Zelaya and Fernandez will coincide with the return of several delegations of friendly nations and international organizations to their countries.
“I ask that the resistance goes to the airport for us to say goodbye for a short time. An Olanchano President leaves the country, and another Olanchano takes over as President of Honduras,” he said.

The question is not the obvious one:
Is Lobo a rich rancher from Olancho just like Zelaya is?
We know the answer to that is yes.
The real question is:
Does Pepe Lobo feel any kinship to Zelaya, who went to the National Autnomous Univeresity of Honduras (UNAH) to study when it was Governed by the Reina brothers, a couple of very Leftist thinking and very political professors and deans who used to rule the University as if it was in Cuba, or some other Marxist country.
In those days (the 70’s + 80″s) you had to be on the very extreme left of the political spectrum to be able to even register for classes, much more if you actually wanted to attend the courses.
Back then, if you were a “Proper Communist” it was possible to get scholarships to go study in the Soviet Union, at the Patricio Lumumba University in Moscow.
Guess who got to go?
No less than Mr. Pepe Lobo, so there should be no surprises as to how and why we come to hear Mr. Lobo trying to be so nice to that animal we know as Mel Zelaya.
What is really concerning and worrisome is that it does not seem that Lobo wants to accept the fact that Honduras rejected Communism more than it rejected Zelaya himself.
The Communist thinking leaders really would like to fool themselves into believing that they will help the country.
Be carefull Honduras, be very carefull.
Lobo has already mentioned that he is in agreement with changes to the Constitution.
I wonder of what kind?
Again Honduras, make yor voice be heard clearly, we reject Socialism, not necessarily Socialists.
“Resistance” … Is this what they call Chavista thugs in Honduras?
If there were any justice Z’liar should be going straight to jail awaiting to be tried for treason among many other charges.
God bless Honduras and its people.
another criminal thug has out smarted the law makers of Honduras.
If I were a criminal, I believe Honduras is the place to live……. even treason is given a pass on possecution. ah….. what a wonderful country for criminals to live it……..
