let Z agree to not run again,reinstate him for the short period till the new election. everyone saves face,Z can go retire in venezuela and president present can pretend he was right and is a statesman.
of course they can just offer Z his life in exchange for leaving.
He can't run again no matter what anyone agrees to. The Honduran constitution limits everyone to one term as president. No exceptions.
If Zelaya gets into the presidency again, what’s the guarantee he will leave? Latin America has a long, long history of such people who seized power and made themselves president for life.
And although the majority of Hondurans probably oppose him, he is a populist who has backers. And possibily he could find supporters in the army, willing to turn on the officers who expelled him earlier, in return for power.
It’s an old and all too common story. Chavez was actually given the boot once, but when he got back in because the idiots in the CIA advised Bush to do nothing, that was it. He is now Dictator for Life, and he’ll kill anyone who interferes with his wishes. As many already have died for opposing him.
