• Nicaragua Ortega captures the older brother of the Chamorro

  • Nicaragua Daniel Ortega uses the "political prisoners of the Catalan country" to justify his offensive against the candidates

"The chancellor has made offensive statements about Nicaragua and the president these days, reminding us of the cynicism and shamelessness of so many outrages and atrocious crimes committed by the Spanish crown during the brutal conquest of our American sacred lands." Thus begins the letter addressed by the government of

Daniel Ortega

against the Spanish minister Arancha González Laya, who according to the Sandinista regime has not only shown "

daring ignorance

and a ferocity inappropriate for diplomacy," but has also addressed the Sandinista leader. with "the voice of a bailiff without noticing in his delirious spiel of a late-night boss that we have been without Spanish dominance for centuries."

Ortega has decided to cast himself after the international repudiation caused by the orderly hunt and capture of five presidential candidates, three former guerrillas with whom he fought against the Somoza dictatorship, dissidents, activists, businessmen and journalists. The Sandinista leader, who has the express support of his revolutionary partners in Venezuela and Cuba, not only ignored Spain's efforts to seek a negotiated solution to his new onslaught, but has also taken the opportunity to respond with a five-page letter that It seems from another era, with an exaggerated baroque style and dotted with linguistic errors.

"We denounce you today as an expression of the crude and disrespectful ignorance that produces a certain crude and ridiculous pretense of superiority, which you attribute and display yourself," says the letter, which was made public days after the Spanish minister announced that his efforts with the Nicaraguan government had failed.

González Laya described Managua's initial responses as "

excuses to hide human rights violations or persecution of political leaders

.

"

Madrid demands the release of political prisoners, their participation in the November electoral process and respect for political rights, the press and all civil society.

"The rights of Nicaraguans are being trampled on," concluded González Laya.

The Spanish ambassador in Managua, María del Mar Fernández Palacios, has not been spared such a cataract of insults either: "It is just a pale reflection of an interference policy,

intrusive, rude, spoiled, capricious,

devitalized and servile, of submission and servility to the invading yankee ".

Since the youths rebelled against Ortega in April 2018 in protest against an unjust social security reform, police and paramilitary forces have killed 350 people, injured more than 2,000 and caused the exile of more than 100,000.

At the moment, the dungeons of the presidential couple house 130 political prisoners.

As he had already done during his speech at the revolutionary summit in Caracas, Ortega took advantage of the pardon to the prisoners of the procés to advise the "august kingdom a pinch of that democracy that others demand, freeing their political prisoners, opening channels for struggles and demands for independence and applying civilized norms to those who have the right to fight for their beliefs. "

"

What a sad, painful and unfortunate role, Mrs. González,

" concludes the letter, published when the echoes caused by the arrest of another member of the Chamorro family still persist.

Against Pedro Joaquín, the eldest son of former President Violeta Barrios, the same accusations are repeated as against the rest of the opponents, from traitor to the homeland to conspirator in the service of the United States.
