The UN still considers that there are no conditions for elections in Honduras


The UN still considers that there are no conditions for elections in Honduras
altNew York (AFP) The UN continues to believe that the conditions to organize credible elections in Honduras are not united, the spokesman said Wednesday the agency's secretary general, Ban Ki-moon. 

"Our assessment of the situation at the moment has not changed, we still believe that conditions are not met," he told AFP Michèle Montas, a month before the elections scheduled in Honduras. 

The de facto government of Roberto Micheletti has maintained its intention to organize elections scheduled for November 29 despite not having agreed that the constitutional President Manuel Zelaya is restored. 

On 23 September last year, Ban Ki-moon announced that the UN electoral assistance retreated to Honduras on the grounds that the situation is not possible to organize credible elections. 

The current negotiations are still stalled in Tegucigalpa in the central point of restitution in the power of Zelaya, as required by the international community to endorse the holding of elections.
