Nicaragua Ortega's 'royal family': a tyrannical dynasty to subdue Nicaragua
A demonstration in Madrid demanded this Sunday that the international community
not recognize the elections in
Nicaragua
, in coincidence with other protests in different countries of Europe and America to denounce
what they describe as an
electoral "fraud"
orchestrated by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega .
"Democracy now in Nicaragua", "Nicaragua, justice and freedom", among other slogans, were read on different banners during the protest in the capital of Spain, in which
dozens of people
participated
in front of the Congress of Deputies
, lower house of the Spanish Parliament. Collectives opposed to Ortega chanted slogans such as "
no conditions, no elections,
" among Nicaraguan flags and also those of other American countries.
Santiago Urbina, from the Blue and White National Unity, which brings together opposition groups, told Efe
that these elections should serve to remove Ortega from power
, since organizations such as the European Union or the Organization of American States and countries such as the United States have denounced the lack of legitimacy of these elections, with
jailed opposition candidates
and outlawed political parties.
If Ortega continues in power, which he has been in since 2007, it will be impossible to end the lack of freedom and human rights violations in the Central American country, he warned.
The participants described these elections as a "circus"
and asked the international community to listen to the "cry for freedom" of Nicaraguans who, like them, had to go into exile.
A statement read at this and other simultaneous rallies
in other cities demanded the release of more than a hundred "political prisoners" in Nicaragua, a new "independent" electoral body of the Ortega government, and "clean" elections with international supervision, among other demands.
"A monumental fraud"
, denounced several of the participants, with which the "dictator" Daniel Ortega seeks to "perpetuate" himself in power.
The protest was attended by Josefa Meza, mother of Jonathan Morazán Meza, one of the young people who died last May in a march by the Madres de Abril collective in Managua in which
shots were fired, accused of security forces
and paramilitaries.
The mother of the deceased young man defined Nicaragua as a "police state" and showed her support for this "force from exile to give a voice to those who cannot speak in Nicaragua."
More than four million Nicaraguans are called to vote to elect president, vice president, ninety deputies from the Parliament of their country and another twenty from the Central American, on a day in which, according to opposition groups,
there were protests in 26 cities around the world.
