Honduras president-elect to meet ousted Zelaya
December 12th, 2009 - 6:29 am ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), Dec 12 (DPA) Porfirio Lobo, the president-elect of Honduras, plans to meet ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya next week in Santo Domingo to begin a “political dialogue,” the Dominican President Leonel Fernandez said.
Fernandez said this here Friday.
Zelaya was ousted June 28 and expelled from Honduras in a military coup. He slipped back into the country Sep 21, taking refuge since then in the Brazilian embassy in Honduras.
Lobo was elected Nov 29 in elections that had been planned before the coup.
Honduras’ de-facto government earlier this week rejected a request by Zelaya to leave the country with his family for Mexico.
Mexico’s government, which has requested safe conduct for Zelaya in Honduras, has offered political asylum to the ousted president. A plane sent to pick up Zelaya was redirected to El Salvador after the Honduran government nixed his travel plans.
