acnnews 9 Manuel Zelaya says He will Head March against Coup Plotters in Honduras
HAVANA, Cuba, July 21 (acn) Honduras´ constitutional President Manuel Zelaya announced that he will head a “march of hope” in his country to overthrow the perpetrators that seized power last June 28 with a military coup. He called on the people to reach to the borders of his country and wait for indications by the leadership of the resistance movement, though he did not give any specific date.
Zelaya said he kicked off his march on Monday and that he will enter Honduras through any point of its border, according to an interview published today by the Jesuit Radio Progreso radio station cited by PL news agency.
In his statements to the radio station the Honduran President alerted that he has received information from within the armed forces that oligarchic groups want to kill him and he even thanked the military that ousted him for their opposition to murder him.
He said that he is not afraid of dying, since he would die in the name of the principles supporting the fair cause claiming for a change of the oppressive regime imposed by the voracious oligarchy, whose only interest is that of preserving its interests.
Zelaya called on the Honduran people to get to the border of the country and wait for indications by the leadership of the “Frente de Resistencia Pacífica” (Peaceful Resistance Front), though he did not said when exactly he would reach the border.
He said he will wait for the 72-hour term given last Sunday by Costa Rica´s Oscar Arias, mediator in the conflict, in an effort to reanimate the dialog unsuccessfully held in San Jose after de facto government representatives rejected the proposals put forth by the mediator.
The Honduran President pointed out that during the rest of his mandate, which concludes January 27, 2010, he will keep boosting changes in favor of the poor and participatory democracy, but that he will not stay in power one more minute after his mandate concludes.
Manuel Zelaya also called on the Honduran military that he considered as not compromised with the coup thesis in the 21st century to not repress the people demonstrations against the coup and the de facto government. Worldnews/Honduras-Zelaya/lach/aga
