In Honduras, lawmakers are expected to begin debate today on whether to restore the ousted President Manuel Zelaya. But it’s unclear if Zelaya would even accept if the Honduran Congress backs his return. The Congress was initially supposed to vote on Zelaya’s restoration before the national elections that were held earlier this week. But Zelaya would only have a limited time back in office until his term expires next month. On Tuesday, Zelaya aide Carlos Reina said the Honduran president should be allowed to finish serving his full term.

Carlos Reina: “We call for democratic order to be restored and for the immediate reinstatement of President José Manuel Zelaya, and for the time taken away from his government to be returned. This should be done without exception. Four years, not one day more and not one day less.”
