SANTIAGO, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Chilean Deputy Foreign Minister Alberto Van Klaveren has warned Honduran ambassador in Santiago Francisco Martinez to "face consequences" after the latter hinted his support to the interim Honduran government led by Roberto Micheletti.

"If the Honduran ambassador considers himself a representative from the interim government, we are going to review his situation. We do not accept representatives from the interim Honduran government, that is our policy, and we are going to act according to that policy," Van Klaveren said Monday.

"We are not going to accept representatives from the interim government and if someone is identified as a representative of the interim government, he will have to face the consequences," Van Klaveren said.

Martinez told local daily El Mercurio de Santiago published on Monday that Chile has decided to sever its diplomatic ties with Honduras till ousted President Manuel Zelaya returns to office.

1. Good for the Chilean Government

With enough political and economic pressure on Honduras the coup should collapse

August 12th will be the real test

6. President Michelle Bachelet is a true hero

Tortured by Pinochet, family killed or disappeared, she returned from exile to work with the families of the disappeared. Makes Sarah Palin even more pathetic in comparison.
