Libre party at a crisis after Zelaya recognizes defeat

http://www.eluniversal.com/internacional/131228/partido-libre-se-enfrenta-a-crisis-tras-zelaya-reconocer-derrota

Mr. Z said Tuesday that you can't not acknowledge the triumph of Hernandez although he qualified it as questionable. The secretary of Libre said Z's statements don't represent the party position.



Zelaya declaró el martes pasado a Efe que Libre no podía "desconocer el triunfo" de Hernández, del Partido Nacional, aunque lo calificó como cuestionado y a medias.

Esas declaraciones las dio el exgobernante después de que el Supremo hondureño rechazara el recurso de amparo presentado por Libre contra el resultado de los comicios presidenciales, que dieron el triunfo a Hernández con el 36,89% de los votos.

Dos días después del reconocimiento de Zelaya, el secretario de Libre, Rasel Tomé, un disidente del Partido Liberal, dijo a periodistas que las afirmaciones del exmandatario no reflejaban la posición del partido.

Corrupt courts like in Venezuela. He should've fought. Like Capriles did. Now Zelaya will lose his entire base.

Oh well, not that I care about that crony POS anyway but it proves where his allegiance is. He's playing the long game, agreeing with a crony court system, worming his way back into the crony politics of that country.
