Brazil, U.S. agree Honduras should give Zelaya travel permit

BRASILIA, Dec 14, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Brazil and the United States agreed on Monday that the Honduras government should deliver a pass to deposed President Manuel Zelaya, currently sheltered at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, for him to leave the country freely.

This was announced by the Special Adviser for International Affairs of the Brazilian Presidency, Marco Aurelio Garcia, after a nearly-two-hour meeting with Arturo Valenzuela, the Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs who is responsible for Latin America diplomacy in the U.S. government.

Moreover, Garcia said that both countries share the opinion on the need for an agreement in the Central American country so that interim President Roberto Micheletti leaves the post.

"The secretary said to be favorable about the pass (to Zelaya) and we need to unblock the situation. We express our concern that the episode of Honduras does not come to establish a precedent that could destabilize the democracy in the region, particularly in
Central America, where the democratic process is more recent," he said.

3. The man's term is over. Why can't they just let him stay?
Isn't it enough that the rich are back in power there forever?

4. They want to send a message to anyone who is even THINKING

about pressuring the rich in Honduras to condone any efforts at relieving the plight of the majority of Hondurans.
