sorry ALBA, you're not welcome

The Micheletti Administration has welcomed the idea of a visit by an OAS delegation composed of foreign ministers from up to six American countries to assess the political situation in Honduras. Not welcome, however, are foreign ministers from any ALBA countries.


Anyone who wants to come to Honduras is more than welcome, because we are making a very important effort to maintain democracy in this country even though we are so misunderstood by the international community. As the days have gone by it seems that many have begun to understand why we were obligated to act the way we acted. The actions of former President Manuel Zelaya have also corroborated the situation which led to those extremes.

In this sense, the hope is that Mr. (Jose Miguel) Insulza -- who has a lot to do with the international reaction by not being open to the positions that were presented here and who maintains a close relationship with the ALBA countries -- this time his intention will be to be more open, fair, and positive. Part of the problem are the ALBA countries which have made public threats of war against Honduras.

In this statement, Ms. Alvarado diplomatically eviscerates Manuel Zelaya ("the actions of former President Manuel Zelaya have also corroborated the situation which led to those extremes") and exposes OAS Secretary General Insulza ("[we hope] this time his intention will be to be more open, fair, and positive") as a Hugo Chavez lackey . I love this fierce woman!

Martha para Presidente en el 2014!

Several days ago when Zelaya was doing his crossing the border thing CNN had her on. She gave a brief summary about the history of what Zelaya had done which lead to the Supreme Court and Congress to boot him. I was surprised that CNN had her on. She is impressive.
