Days before the coup that overthrew him in June 2009, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya plays the role of 'double agent' in the USA to the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), headed by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The State Department cable 210866, classified confidential and dated June 8, 2009, the U.S.
Embassy in Tegucigalpa referred to the draft approved at the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), held on 2 June 3, 2009 in San Pedro Sula (Honduras), as our text. " This was submitted by Zelaya, who won the support of Fidel Castro, Chavez and other leaders of the ALBA without them knowing the source of the draft.
Zelaya had gotten in January 2008 in a political maze when he signed a trade agreement with Venezuela through Petrocaribe. U.S. suspected from the outset that "the price of the open bar," as termed in the cable 139 016 28 January, had a political price. The agreement was for two years and included heavy fuel oil, which is used by Honduras to generate 70% of its electricity.
Venezuelan fuel Zelaya give the necessary liquidity to the last two years in office and improve their chances of reelection (if he could the necessary legal changes) or its nominee (Patricia Rhodes). U.S. based on their earlier suspicions that the signing of the agreement with Petrocaribe not performed during the visit of Chávez to Honduras, Jan.
15, but after a meeting of the Sixth Summit of ALBA, 25 January Zelaya which sent an observer to his former Foreign Minister Milton Jimenez. 139 018 In the confidential cable sent to Washington on January 28, the embassy claims that another requirement was that Honduras Chavez stopped to consider the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) a terrorist group.
Deputy Foreign Minister Enrique Reina met the requirements in a statement cited on 28 January by the conservative daily El Heraldo: "The government condemns all terrorist attacks, but in the case of Colombia, the FARC is considered an internal matter Colombians must be resolved. " The above quotes are from cable.
The same note of the embassy, which is based on unidentified sources, said that General Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, had said on this subject: "As the FARC does not threaten the borders of Honduras, are considered an internal matter and not terrorist organization. " The cable continues: "But when I approached directly, Vazquez said," Your list of terrorists is our list of terrorists.
" The general Vazquez was among the ringleaders of the coup against Zelaya. Honduras joined the ALBA in August 2003. Days earlier, U.S. embassy conveyed the 166691 cable in which the firm says is inevitable. It reports on a meeting with Honduran businessmen opposed to the accession. One of them, Amilcar Bulnes, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, said that "membership in ALBA Honduras as defined communist country." The note also says that Bulnes asked the embassy to "act against ALBA before it is too late." He also suggested a call to Roberto Micheletti, president of Parliament and future coup.
The cable contains the confidence of a National Party leader says Bulnes not be trusted, that double play and it charges the businessman Jaime Rosethantal communication. The signing of the ALBA was what caused the rift between Zelaya and Micheletti. Although Zelaya began playing on the side of Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua), Rafael Correa (Ecuador) and Evo Morales (Bolivia), among others, maintained close ties with the United States.

At that meeting, the countries of ALBA presented for approval a draft to the admission of Cuba into the Organization. Secretary of State of the United States, Hillary Clinton, made a counterproposal: to lift the ban to Cuba as long as Havana adhere to the principles of the OAS.
Zelaya, according to the cable, he mediated between the U.S. and countries of ALBA hard. U.S. Zelaya informed of their difficulties to convince their new partners, which threatened to withdrawal from the Alliance. Zelaya was a call to Fidel Castro to grant approval to the compromise text.
Former Cuban leader gave him and that allowed other countries to accept the draft. What reveals the cable is agreed that the draft that Castro, Chavez and Ortega was drafted by the U.S..
