"...The OAS “tried to impose unilateral solutions. The government of Honduras repudiates such attempts to impose unilateral solutions and reaffirms its sovereignty,” de Casco said in a nationwide address. “The OAS is a political organizatioon, not a court of law. … There is no institutional crisis here.”
Blogger Hunter Smith is now reporting from Honduras. Here are his first impressions (h/t Legal Insurrection).
Government Removes Zelaya’s Perks
Aside from canceling all of Zelaya’s government backed credit cards (before which, he had spent 80,000 dollars in less than five days), terminated also was the leasing of 50 luxury vehicles and 61 cellular phones with a credit of over 47,500 lempiras, and over 100 bank accounts, all backed by Honduran government funds.
The chancellor of Honduras confirmed that Mel Zelaya ordered the withdrawal of 40 million lempiras from the Central Bank of Honduras.
When the investigations were made at the presidential house, black garbage bags filled with thousands and thousands of dollars were found, as well as in almost every drawer.
Investigations documented over 600 million lempiras worth of expenditures that Zelaya had spent on his quest to hold the “opinion poll” to allow the fourth vote.
About 530 Lempiras to the Dollar
Just wait until the Obamas leave the White House. All the light bulbs, carpeting copper pipe, and toilet paper will be gone.
Good for YOU, Honduras! Stand UP to the cowardly OAS and the stinking UN!
Soon, please.
Honduras leaves the OAS: “There is no room in the OAS for freedom-loving countries.”
This breakdown of assets looks like something a drug dealer would have. Sadly quite typical of Latin American Presidents. They all come to office poor and leave multi-millionaires.
Really L 19.02= $ 1
