It’s always nice to have my positions validated by someone with more inside information than I have. I just learned that Tegucigalpa Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga has taken the same position as I have expressed on every point of the situation in Honduras. (You have to read my posts and my comments afterwards to see me express each of these positions.)

  • Rodriguez issued a statement in a televised address declaring Zelaya’s ouster legal.
  • He recommends seeking a peaceful solution to the political crisis.
  • He has rejected international criticism of Zelaya’s ouster.
  • He has condemned the manner in which Zelaya was kicked out of the country.

To me that’s even better than scouring the Honduran constitution to back up my views on the situation (although that has been done as well).

Thanks for the link. It seems rather clear to me from the article you referenced that due to what Zalaya was doing his term of office was ended and he is ineligible to serve in any capacity before 2019:

“No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform, as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years.” (emphasis added)/blockquote>
