“I saw that everything takes time here but I’m convinced that we’re now focused on bringing different groups together to create a new Cabinet,” Solis said.
Juan Carlos Hidalgo of the Cato Institute, said he doesn’t expect Hondurans to be swayed by US pressure.
“If Congress doesn’t reinstate Zelaya, it certainly will be a diplomatic embarrassment for the United States since they pressured so much for his reinstatement and even threatened to not recognize the election results,” Hidalgo said. “But not recognizing a popular vote was a dead-end road for the US and they knew it.”
Late on Wednesday, unknown assailants threw an explosive device at an anti-Zelaya radio station in Tegucigalpa, forcing the station to suspend a live radio show.
HRN Radio reporter Romulo Matamoros told TNH Television station that assailants threw the explosive artifact from the street and that a technician working in the control cabin was slightly hurt.
“This was an aggression against freedom of expression,” Matamoros said.
The Honduran media has often been at the center of tensions since the coup. Several media outlets critical of Zelaya have been attacked, while pro-Zelaya television and radio stations have complained about being yanked off the air in the days immediately following the coup.
