  • Elections Business leaders arrested in Nicaragua two weeks before the elections

  • Nicaragua The president of Honduras gives his support to Daniel Ortega days before the elections "without legitimacy" in Nicaragua

"Supporting actors, you villains! The destabilizing intentions are evident."

Nicaragua is going through the final stretch of a voting process that looks very little like a democratic election, beyond the fact that the ballots will be deposited in the ballot box set up by a Supreme Electoral Council (CNE) at the service of Sandinismo.

And it does so between almost general accusations and the Numantine defense of its officials, such as the one made yesterday by Michael Campbell, his delegate at the Organization of American States (OAS).

The criticism and the evidence were so strong that the diplomat could only repeat revolutionary slogans that almost everyone in Latin America knows by heart.

Despite his efforts, he was unable to mitigate the accusations heard within the Pan-American organization, from parody to lie, in addition to those already advanced by Josep Borrell from Peru: "The elections are completely a 'fake.' he charged with imprisoning all political opponents who were standing in the elections.

We cannot expect this process to yield a legitimate result

that we can consider, quite the contrary. "

Similar words and the same forcefulness used this Wednesday at the OAS. "The results will be illegitimate, a parody," said Hugh Adsett, the representative of Canada. "They are simply a lie.

Ortega and Murillo do not have the consent of the Nicaraguan people to turn their country into

a one-party

dictatorship

," added American Bradley Freden.

Everyone present this Wednesday in Washington knows the evidence provided by the Gallup poll, which ensures that any of the seven arrested and jailed candidates would defeat Daniel Ortega at the polls. They are Cristiana Chamorro (daughter of former president Violeta Barrios, held in her own home), her cousin the economist Juan Sebastián Chamorro, the former US ambassador Arturo Cruz, the activist and academic Félix Maradiaga, the peasant leader Medardo Mairena, the journalist Miguel Mora and the many times aspiring, conservative Noel Vidarreta.

The journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, who not only suffers the arrest of Cristiana, but also that of his brother Pedro Joaquín, leader of the Ciudadanos por la Libertad party and also president, has delved into the Gallup poll for his Confidencial medium, which revealed that

the 76% of Nicaraguans are convinced that their country is going the wrong way.

Only 23% think the opposite.

In addition,

79% consider that there is no freedom of expression.

59% of citizens do not listen to the daily sermons of Vice President Rosario Murillo, who will become "co-president" from Monday, according to her husband.

Faced with Sunday's farce, civil society organizations and the opposition have launched a campaign they call an

"electoral strike",

consisting of no one going out on the streets on Sunday.

Quite the opposite will take place in Costa Rica, which brings together more than 100,000 exiles, who are preparing a large concentration for 7-N.

Both initiatives have the support of the bulk of those who oppose the revolutionary regime, from the Catholic Church, leading the demands from day one, to student, worker and peasant groups.

The Ortega government, which maintained good relations with Cardinal

Miguel Obando y Bravo,

has surrounded the home of the current cardinal, Leopoldo Brenes.

"The people of Nicaragua are going to rebuild this country that we love so much," the auxiliary archbishop of Managua, Monsignor Silvio José Báez, cried out from his forced exile in Florida, who supported the popular rebellion of 2018 in the front line. Pope Francis decided to send him to The United States after pressure from the Sandinista regime.
