"We, Honduran citizens, men and women, convinced of the need to strengthen the rule of law, protect our Constitution and the laws of our Republic, deepen democracy and ensure a climate of peace and tranquility for our people, have carried out an intense and frank process of political dialogue to seek a peaceful and negotiated solution to the crisis in which our country has been submerged in recent months."


Terms include:


1. Forming a "National Unity and Reconciliation Government."


Fact Check


Only hardliners need apply, and if reinstated, Zelaya will finish his term as an impotent puppet head of state.


2. Renouncing "a Call for a National Constituent Assembly and Amending the Unamendable Articles of the Constitution."


Fact Check


According to Article 5 of the 2006 Honduran "Civil Participation Act," government officials may hold non-binding inquiries (referenda) to determine popular support for proposed measures. Gauging sentiment for a National Constituent Assembly for a new Constitution is legal. Illegally, Washington and Honduran hardliners stopped it.
