Se discuten temas relacionados con la violencia doméstica en el Bolívar Hall

Caracas, Dec 01 ABN.- Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa questioned the illegal electoral process carried out in Honduras on Sunday, since it was called by Roberto Micheletti's putschist regime and he called as well the international community to disclaim such elections.

“A putschist dictatorship has passed by for five months and now they want to solve it by holding elections. That is such an atrocity,” said Correa after his participation at the XIX Ibero American Summit, in Estoril, Portugal.

The Ecuadorean President urged the international community to impose the severest sanction to those who perpetrated the coup d'état in order to set a precedent so that democracy will never be outraged again.

According to him, it is necessary to disclaim those elections, demand the return of the constitutional president Manuel Zelaya to Honduras' presidency, and make a transition.

Correa deplored that the United States witnessed this terrible coup to democracy by supporting Honduras' Armed Forces.

On the other hand, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Fander Falconi expressed that the international community never had an unanimous stance with regards to a coup d'état as it has now in Honduras' case.

According to Falconi, if the international community is not firm on rejecting the elections held on Sunday in Honduras, where the conservative Porfirio Lobo was declared winner, a Pandora's box will be open.
