Más de un centenar de académicos norteamericanos exigen al presidente Barack Obama retirar el apoyo a las elecciones promovidas por el régimen golpista de Honduras. En carta abierta -fechada el día 11 de noviembre- le recuerdan que durante la Cumbre de las Américas dijo: “quiero dejar absolutamente claro que me opongo y condeno todos los esfuerzos de remover violentamente gobiernos democráticamente electos, donde quiera que eso pase en el hemisferio”.
En el documento los profesionales instan al mandatario estadounidense a dar su apoyo a la democracia y los derechos humanos en el país centroamericano. “A solo días de la elección programada para el 29 de noviembre, el gobierno de Estados Unidos debe hacer su propia elección: apoyar la democracia – a la par con cada gobierno de América Latina- o apoyar el régimen golpista y permanecer aislado”
“Honduras se encuentra al borde de un peligroso precipicio. El régimen golpista está decidido – en la ausencia de presión significativa de parte del Gobierno de Estados Unidos – a llevar a cabo las elecciones, con la esperanza de que la comunidad internacional eventualmente reconozca los resultados. Al hacerlo ellos esperan legitimar su régimen inconstitucional e ilegal”.
En otra parte de la misiva, los académicos advierten que Estados Unidos – en su intención de reconocer las elecciones hondureñas – se coloca “en oposición” al Grupo de Río; organismo que determinó no reconocerlas si el Presidente Zelaya no es restituido en su cargo.
El grupo de Río lo conforman Argentina, Belice, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, República Dominicana, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haití, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela.
