Oscar Arias
El presidente Oscar Arias fue estrenado en Wikileaks, relacionado con la crisis de honduras, y el cable nos relata la posición de Arias de no asistir al traspaso de Poderes porque le parecia que Lobo no había hecho los esfuerzos suficientes para que Micheleti renunciara, posición que mantuvo aunque el presidente electo trato de convencerlo, y hasta ofreció hacerle una mención especial por los esfuerzos realizados por Arias, a quien el embajador reconoció ser la persona que más esfuerzos había realizado por restablecer el orden constitucional.
En realidad este cable no agrega mucho, espero que pronto salga uno de Arias relacionado con el TLC, pero acá les dejó este a ver si ustedes logran agarrarle algo que se me haya escapado:

Conversation with President Arias:
———————————-¶9. (S/NF) The Ambassador spoke to President Arias just prior
to his meeting with Lobo. Arias reiterated that he was
somewhat disappointed with Lobo since he did not believe he
had been forceful enough in getting regime leader Micheletti
to resign. He said he had already vowed not to attend the
inauguration and it would be difficult for him to change his
position now. The Ambassador told Arias that no one had done
more to seek to restore the constitutional order and to
achieve a negotiated and peaceful solution to the crisis than
he had. The Ambassador pointed out that Honduras continued
to need his support and guidance. The Ambassador said that
the U.S. would be sending an official delegation to the
inauguration that would probably be led by Assistant
Secretary Arturo Valenzuela. The Ambassador also briefed
Arias on the Fernandez agreement with Lobo to get Zelaya to
leave the Brazilian Embassy and travel to the Dominican
Republic on January 27. Arias responded that the U.S.
presence would be positive and help other countries engage at
least after Lobo assumes office. Arias said he would take
our views into account in terms of Costa Rican participation
in the inauguration, but would most likely ask his ambassador
to attend the ceremony. The idea of going to the Brazilian
Embassy and escorting Zelaya out of the country was somewhat
intriguing to him, but he made no commitments. Arias made
clear he intended to recognize the newly-elected government
and work constructively with Lobo. He said he was thinking
of inviting Lobo to visit Costa Rica soon after he assumes
office. (Note: While the Ambassador was speaking to Arias,
Lobo came to the Residence and Arias expressed interest in
speaking directly to Lobo. The two chatted amiably for 8-10
minutes. Lobo attempted to convince Arias to attend his
inauguration and said he intended to provide special
recognition for Arias at the ceremony for his crucial role in
seeking to resolve the crisis. Lobo said that even if he did
not attend, he hoped to invite him to Tegucigalpa in the near
future and honor him in some way.” [ ver el cable completo]
