Yesterday, Honduran President Roberto Micheletti took advantage of his first opportunity to address representatives of member nations of the Organization of American States in a public forum to make an impassioned defense of his country. In frank and eloquent remarks that made his OAS nationsÂ’ guests uncomfortable at times, he chided them for never bothering to listen to his AdministrationÂ’s side before condemning it. President MichelettiÂ’s speech explained the constitutional grounds for the position of the current Honduran government. He also denounced the blatant corruption of Manuel Zelaya, which has given rise to criminal charges against the former president.
The following are excerpts of MichelettiÂ’s remarks to the foreign dignitaries:
