TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduran President Porfirio Lobo said Saturday that he is in a standoff with the same political and business elite that staged a 2009 coup and whisked his predecessor from the country at gunpoint.

The Supreme Court, which found then President Manuel Zelaya’s ouster legal, has turned down a key Lobo proposal to bring development to the troubled Central American country, which has yet to recover from the 2009 unrest. The court is expected on Tuesday to nullify another Lobo reform designed to clean up the notoriously corrupt national police.
