HONDURAS will issue a postage stamp honoring Roberto Micheletti, the politician who has led the country since a coup ousted President Manuel Zelaya in June, the post office said yesterday.
Micheletti, whose de facto government has defied world opinion by preventing Zelaya from returning to office, said the stamp would commemorate the defense of Honduran values.
He was voted as interim president by Congress on the day the army roused Zelaya at gunpoint and flew him out of the country after his policies, including an alliance with leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, angered the country's traditional elites.
The United States and Latin American countries have insisted that Micheletti step down and reinstate Zelaya but the Honduran Congress voted on Wednesday against that, handing the coup leaders a key victory.
Zelaya said on Thursday Honduran democracy was "dead."
