Mel's attempt to return to Honduras is "reckless"

Secretary of State of United States, Hillary Clinton qualified Manuel Zelaya's intent to return to Honduras as "reckless".

The deposed president entered and left the border area of Las Manos, El Paraíso, accompanied by a mob and dozens of journalists. "The attempt by President Zelaya to reach the border is unwise," Clinton said in a press conference.

"It contributes to the overall effort undertaken to restore democracy and constitutional order in Honduras," added Clinton, who asked Zelaya accept the proposals of the mediator of the crisis, the Costa Rican President Óscar Arias, including the return to power of Zelaya and advance one month before the general election in November.

Zelaya had rejected calls from Washington to suspend his return to Honduras until the end of the mediation process which failed, upon its closure on Wednesday. The de facto government of Roberto Micheletti has not acted on the proposal of mediation.

Zelaya, who is in Nicaragua shortly after joining in Honduras by the common border, plans to travel to Washington on Tuesday announced the State Department spokesman, Philip Crowley.

"We understand that President Zelaya has plans to come to Washington on Tuesday (...) to continue discussions," Crowley said in a press conference.

The spokesman said it has no information about the meetings that will Zelaya in the U.S. capital, who has visited several times since he was overthrown and expelled from the country on June 28.

Zelaya before they crossed the border with Nicaragua, Crowley said Washington maintained the position that his return would be "premature" and warned against "any action that might lead to violence."

OAS did not authorize the mission

In Chile, the secretary general of the Organization of American States Jose Miguel Insulza, questioned Zelaya's decision to return has not yet reached a political agreement to end the conflict that was unleashed after the coup State's June 28 last. He clarified that the body bringing together the presidents of the region "not authorized" to Manuel Zelaya of Honduras to try to return the land and dialogue with the government.

"I've always wanted that President Zelaya returned to Honduras, but not ... We have said that the return of President Zelaya to be peaceful, "said Insulza.

The secretary general said that the OAS intends to have "a clear political agreement leading to national reconciliation based on the proposal the other day did the president of Costa Rica, Óscar Arias." The former Chilean minister revealed that the deposed ruler told the previous night about his plans and pledged to return it without violence. "He noted that hopefully the action will not jeopardize what he was doing and told me not worry about me, who was unarmed. Well, fortunately nothing happened, "he said.

However, Insulza admitted that the decision of the deposed president could delay the response of the de facto government, "so he called on the parties to" reconsider. "

The Canadian government, in a statement by Minister of State, Peter Kent, says he spoke with Zelaya, who expressed concern at the events. "Canada continues to strongly support the mediation efforts led by President Óscar Arias of Costa Rica, and welcomed his latest plan for a negotiated solution, exposed July 22," he says.

"I asked both parties to seize this special opportunity to reach a peaceful solution in the best interest of all Hondurans. He also reiterated to President Zelaya that he should not return to Honduras until that agreement has been reached, "he adds.

"Canada reiterates its call on all parties to condemn any and all incitement to violence in the present crisis and to respect the rights of Hondurans to peace, order and good governance."
