US embassy cable - 05TEGUCIGALPA149

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
1.  (C)  Ambassador has raised this matter on multiple 
occasions with Honduran President Ricardo Maduro, most 
recently on January 18 during visit of CODEL Weller.  Maduro 
again demurred taking a position in support of Francisco 
Flores.  During this most recent instance, Maduro, after 
reciting again his concerns about the domestic impact of 
supporting Flores' candidacy, Flores' historical behavior on 
the border issues, and the lack of a Central American 
consensus (see reftel B), went as far as to suggest that his 
own disputed nationality (many in Honduras accuse him of 
selling out Honduran interests too readily because he was 
born in Panama) also made it difficult/impossible to support 
Flores.  He told the Ambassador that he had made clear his 
position on Flores' candidacy to Salvadoran President Saca.
