TEGUCIGALPA, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya on Thursday called on his followers to "impugn and denounce" the Nov. 29 elections to be hosted under his country's de facto government.

    Zelaya issued a communique, urging his followers to resist against the coup carried on June 28.

    "Our weapons are the ideas, our fight is peaceful," Zelaya said in a statement read by his advisor Eduardo Reina to the local media.

    "Compatriots: The President of the Republic (Zelaya) makes a call to keep firm and decided to fight against the coup, to fight for our democracy, without hiding the truth, to fight peacefully for our ideas; when people are decided there are no weapons, Army or maneuvers able to stop them," the statement says.

    Zelaya said that "it is an antidemocratic electoral maneuver rejected by large sectors, to cover the material and intellectual actors of the coup...."

    "The coming elections are not legal, they do not have support of the international community, mainly of Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations," Zelaya said.

    "Officially, all the countries have said they do not recognize this electoral process, except the United States, which manifests itself with ambiguity," Zelaya added.
