Nobel Peace Prize winner (1980) Adolfo Pérez Esquivel demanded on Wednesday the reinstatement of constitutional President José Manuel Zelaya in Honduras, who was forcibly removed from his post by a military coup d’etat on June 28.
The Argentinean pacifist, now visiting Barcelona, granted an interview to the Spanish newspaper ADN, of free circulation, and described the perpetrators of the coup at the impoverished Central American nation as dictators.
With respect to the participation of Costa Rican President Oscar Arias in the Honduran crisis, he said that the mediation was a serious mistake, because it was mediation between a coup perpetrator and a democratic government, the Prensa Latina news agency reports.
It’s like trying to mix water and cooking oil, because Zelaya represents legitimacy and Roberto Micheletti, who illegally seized power, is a dictator, he stressed.
Pérez Esquivel asked US President Barack Obama to adopt a clearer stance in the face of these events.
Obama has to define his position, he affirmed, since a forceful condemnation of the coup in Honduras and the recognition of Zelaya would give him credibility before the Latin American governments.
The human rights fighter considers the attitude of the US President as “warm”, because –he expressed- he’s aware of the difficulties he’s facing in the internal front.
Pérez Esquivel admitted that the current occupant of the White House can’t do much by himself, but assured that -if he relies on the power of the people- he will be able to face the huge economic interests in the United States.
After ruling out great changes during the current US administration, he highlighted that Obama had the intention of closing Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib and he couldn’t, and wanted to withdraw the troops from Iraq and didn’t manage to do that either.
