The constitutional president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, said Sunday that it has not renounced the power and criticized the current U.S. government whose members said "there are descendants of (Abraham) Lincoln." 

"My term of office ends on 27th January 2010," Zelaya said in an interview on Honduran radio station Globo, after completing a Mass held in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, where he stayed from 21 September. 

He stated that neither Congress nor the Supreme Court it can take command, and that these branches of government lifted him to overthrow the false trials June 28 and appoint Roberto Micheletti as de facto president. 

Zelaya restitution would be discussed by the Honduran Congress as agreed by the agreement Tegucigalpa-San Jose, but right now this body is to break with what has delayed the process. 

The president said the constitutional letter sent Saturday to the U.S. president, Barack Obama, in which he says will not accept "any agreement to return the chair to cover the coup, was made in his as president of Honduras. 

"As president I will not make any agreement. I gave up talking to Mr. Micheletti, resigned to continue to accept this falsedialogue , liar, which the only thing it has served is to strengthen the regime and weaken the resolution of the international community, "he said. 

"When Panama is changing, for example, this  is instructed by them" (USA), Zelaya said, referring to the Panamanian government's decision to recognize the Honduran elections on 29 November. 

During the Mass celebrated in the Brazilian embassy, Zelaya spoke about former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, praising the way a political crisis resolved by the end of his term. 

He said then, Lincoln "gave an example to the American people, now the American government (the Obama) does not want to, they are not descendants of Lincoln." 

"They refuse to Lincoln because they intend to support an election here at war," Zelaya said in reference to the electoral process later this month which was rejected by most of the international community. 

The legitimate president of Honduras said in his letter addressed to Obama was "a strong disposition not to accept any refund to humiliate and to conceal the illegal Honduran coup we live in  and the military repressing the most humble people," said .
