The executive council of Congress decided today to ask the Supreme Court about the possibility of restoring Zelaya to the Presidency. The court's opinion is not binding on Congress, and it has previously said the coup against Zelaya was legal. Telecinco, a Spanish TV station and website also reports that the Procuraduria has also been asked for an opinion. In addition, La Tribuna reports that the Fiscalia has been asked for an opinion.
