During the demonstration across the main avenues of the Honduran capital, protestors demanded the return of the constitutional President, Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales, who was taken out of the country after the military coup June 28, says Granma newspaper.

Meanwhile, Zelaya reiterated his willingness to travel to Honduras on the upcoming weekend and announced that there will be no more meetings in Costa Rica.

"I’m preparing my return to Honduras. I will leave on Wednesday and I will enter the country through any of the border sites in Guatemala, El Salvador or Nicaragua,” said Zelaya in statements to Argentinean daily La Nacion.

Answering to a question about the possibility of being arrested upon arriving in Honduras, Zelaya said criminals can not judge legitimate governments and he regretted the breaking of democracy.

According to the de facto regime’s leader, Roberto Micheletti, Zelaya will not be allowed to enter the country and he instructed the policy to detain him if he returns.

In the mean time, the National Front against Honduras’ Coup is preparing a mass demonstration for this week to welcome the legitimate president on any of the points where he enters the country.

Likewise, the Front has summoned to a general strike for Thursday and Friday to weaken the entrepreneurs that are supporting the coup and to force the de facto regime to surrender power.
