Here's an anecdote to complement your story, Jonathan.

Tiempo is carrying a story that illustrates that Zelaya seems to be a down-to-earth guy, while his opponents are strictly lunatics. This is what I wrote on my blog: "It seems that a self-taught sculptor made a fiberglass statue of Zelaya, along with statues of other presidents and figures from independence. Zelaya gave him a little financial support, since the artist was extremely poor and had sick family members. So, what did the coupistas do? They hauled the statue of Zelaya into Parliament and proclaimed that Zelaya had planned to have these placed all over the country to immortalize himself."
