Whatever the outcome of the negotiations that should restore the government of President Zelaya, the crisis unleashed by the coup Honduras has shown two things: the growing role in Brazilian politics Continental, together with the musings and contradictions of U.S. policy for the region.
The bold maneuver Zelaya facilitate the return of his country to give asylum from the Brazilian embassy due to a number of factors concatenated. The first, and not least, is the claim of much of the Latin American foreign ministers of Brazil's most steadfast positions on the resolution of the conflict, given that the OAS-sponsored mediation was bogged down. Brazil could not allow its emerging leadership is called into question precisely because the conglomerate of nations that seeks to lead.
On the other hand, and the question not least, the stability of democracy in the region was seriously threatened to a degree comparable only to the attempted coup against Hugo Chavez for 8 years, unanimously rejected in the region, governments of different ideological persuasions.
But fundamentally, because the "give long" to the resolution of a dispute over which the United States is the master key was read by Lula and his Foreign Office advisers (correctly) as an attempt to undermine Brazil's leadership and autonomy in the region. In short, doubts within the Obama administration on the degree of autonomy that "he should" give to Latin America, forced this move by Brazil, backed implicitly by most of the continent.
leadership exists in the U.S., with few exceptions, a superficial and somewhat omnipotent on power relations between that country and Latin America, anchored by the 90 schemes which do not reflect the changes occurring in the continent and the world during the first decade of the century.
The Brazilian played in Honduras was the first concrete and effective signal that, after a century, the United States _ must share consensus? - Their decisions with other actors inland.
