Managua.– Former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya on Friday demanded that the Honduran government allow him to return to the country to exercise his political rights.

Speaking at a press conference after meeting Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega in Managua, Nicaragua, Zelaya vowed that international efforts for his pacific return to Honduras would continue.

He stressed his return should be without any preconditions and that after his return, he would lead a movement in favor of restoring the democratic order in the country.

He also said he would travel to Guatemala to campaign for a seat in the in the Central American Parliament. Zelaya was ousted on June 28 last year in a coup as he pushed for a constitutional change which would allow him to run for another term.

Zelaya has been living in Dominican Republic since Jan. 27, 2010 after new Honduran President Porfirio Lobo took office following victory in the general elections of Nov. 29, 2009.

Why don't you send him "Zelaya" and Leonel to Venezuela or Cuba.
That should solve all the problems.
