We demand the immediate restitution of president Manuel Zelaya. On the contrary, the elections to be held on Nov. 29 will not be recognized and a very dangerous precedent will be set.
In light of the restatement today of the unchanged US position, this statement draws a very clear distinction between Brazil, which will emerge from this crisis with enhanced regional standing, and the US, which will emerge... well, not so much.
