Zelaya reportedly will boycott the upcoming elections...

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma

They saw it coming:

So we resolve:

    1.If today, Thursday, November 5, no later than midnight President Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales is not reinstated to his position, the National Resistance Front against the Coup d'Etat will not recognize the electoral process and its results.

    2.We alert all the organizations in the resistance on a national level so that in case President Zelaya is not reinstated in the established period to be ready to execute the actions of negating the farse elections.

    3.We call on the international community to maintain the position that the de facto regime and the elections of November 29 are illegitimate.

    We resist and we will be victorious!
    Tegucigalpa, M.D.C. 5 of November 2009

Many resistance members have commented that the same Congress that invented the President's resignation letter last June is now being trusted to clean up the mess.
(...)
The US will now have to answer to the international community - including the Organization of American States (OAS) - as the only government that says it might recognize the Nov 29 elections in Honduras.

I have a hunch this is not going to end well at all.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
