• Nicaragua Ortega seeks its 'covered rooster', the perfect electoral rival

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

They cannot bear strong international criticism for the repressive measures taken against the political opposition. Even less so, those of the Spanish socialist government, which urges him to hold free elections next November. Hence, the Foreign Ministry of Daniel Ortega has reacted by harshly attacking Spain and the government of Pedro Sánchez. He accuses them of "meddling in matters that only correspond to our country and our people."

In an extensive statement, which the vice president and Ortega's wife, Rosario Murillo, read on her weekly radio program, the Nicaraguan regime warns that it will continue to denounce "the cynical and continuous meddling,

interference and intervention in our internal affairs, improper of governments democratic,

also inappropriate for regimes that continually violate the rights of their peoples to autonomy or autonomous processes of independence ".

They follow the clear

allusion to Catalonia,

challenging the Spanish Executive "to allow free participation in voting and elections, without threats, intimidation, or jail for pro-independence leaders."

Not satisfied with the mention of the frustrated constitutional breakdown, they dust off the

GAL

case

, an

organization created, according to the statement, by the then "'socialist' President, Felipe González." They add that "they forever stained Spain with responsibility for crimes against humanity, never investigated or tried." Finally, they note that in their day they attributed to said criminal gang about "

40 terrorist actions,

murdering and injuring more than 60 people with impunity, without the successive governments of that Kingdom taking care of responding to the victims."

They also remember that the small Central American nation is no longer their colony or dependent on others. They can, therefore, go their own way "since we

are not, nor will we ever be, territories dominated

by anyone's criminal greed". And they conclude by claiming that "the truth cannot be hidden, nor does it prescribe, despite the impudence with which they pretend to present themselves to the world as spotless, shabby, impeccable, very correct, and demanding with those they consider inferior, imperfect, incorrect and still under his already, by grace and struggles, nonexistent and imaginary, colonial empire ".

The annoyance was generated by an official note from the Spanish Foreign Ministry, issued on Monday, in which they do not consider "that the electoral process in the making offers a result with guarantees and credibility." They issued it because, in addition to arresting seven candidates and thirty critics, the Supreme Electoral Council canceled the legal status of Ciudadanos por la Libertad - known as CxL -, a coalition that includes opponents of the Sandinista dictatorship. They had decided to attend despite the fact that the rest of the groups opposed to the Sandinista regime preferred to turn their backs on the call to the polls so as not to legitimize elections that lacked any trace of democracy.

The Foreign Ministry's response has not been long in coming and this Wednesday he called his ambassador in the Nicaraguan capital to consult the "serious and unfounded accusations against Spain and its institutions, as well as

gross falsehoods about judicial and electoral processes,"

which the statement contained of the Sandinista government.

But Daniel Ortega's annoyance is not limited only to Spain. The president of Nicaragua, who aspires to his fourth re-election, together with Rosario Murillo as vice president, extended his displeasure with a very

critical

statement

towards all Latin American nations

that have also repudiated the repression exercised against their opponents. He tightened the screw so much on this occasion that countries in the region that tend to ignore the abuses, such as Mexico and Argentina, have not been able to look the other way.

They summoned their ambassadors to Managua on Monday, given the "worrying political-legal actions carried out by the Nicaraguan government in recent days, which have put

the integrity and freedom

of various opposition figures

at risk

."

Days before, Colombia and Costa Rica had taken the same measure.

Ortega responded with another statement claiming to have endured "with great patience, from our American and Caribbean brotherhood, the constant and

undeserved accusations,

disrespectful, meddling, meddling and interventionists in our internal affairs."

Despite everything, no one will be able to overshadow the Ortega-Murillo duo.

The only parties allowed are the so-called "zancudos" in Nicaragua, that is, political entities without autonomy, which only exist to give the false appearance of democracy to the one-party regime embodied by the FSLN (Sandinista National Liberation Front).
