Exiles More pressure for Cuba and Venezuela after the exile of the 222 Nicaraguans
Reception Spain offers to naturalize another 94 Nicaraguans stripped of their nationality
President
Gabriel Boric
has followed the path opened by the Spanish government to offer Chilean nationality to the 222 exiled prisoners and 94 exiles punished by the Nicaraguan dictatorship
.
"The Chilean
government
will arbitrate the necessary legal means to offer them due international protection, which will allow them to reside in the country and obtain Chilean nationality according to the constitutional and legal norms that regulate it," the Foreign Ministry announced in a statement.
It so happens that the Chilean Foreign Minister,
Antonia Urrejola,
served as president of the
Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR),
from where she defended the victims of the Sandinista regime tooth and nail.
The Spanish initiative has also been joined in recent hours by the Argentine president,
Alberto Fernández.
While Chile expressed its horror from the first minute, the Peronist government has joined at the last minute after responding to the challenge launched by the
Cervantes Prize winner Sergio Ramírez, exiled today in Spain and who served as vice president of
Daniel Ortega
himself in the last century .
The writer made public his annoyance at the silence in
Buenos Aires
and added that if they offered him Argentine nationality, he would claim it.
"If Ramírez asks for Argentine citizenship, we will give it to him and to all those who are suffering from what is happening in Nicaragua," responded the foreign minister,
Santiago Cafiero.
The decision of both governments has come, therefore, by different means.
Boric himself was in charge of showing his indignation at the abuses of the presidential couple, formed by Ortega and the "co-president",
Rosario Murillo.
He first answered the poet
Gioconda Belli
that "the dictator does not know that the country is carried in his heart and in his actions, and is not deprived by decree".
Later, in dialogue via Twitter with journalist
Carlos F. Chamorro,
son of former President
Violeta Barrios
and one of the 94 "stateless" exiles, Boric exclaimed: "We share the homeland of democracy that should not have borders. Strength to that people with so much, so much dignity that is the Nicaraguan".
More restrained is the support given by Colombian President
Gustavo Petro,
who has called for an
America
"without political and social prisoners", just a few hours after embracing
Nicolás Maduro.
Venezuela currently has
270 political prisoners.
Further north, in
Mexico,
President
Andrés Manuel López Obrador
is silent, despite his country's traditional influence in
Central America.
The populist leader even cleared balls out of him in his morning appearance this Tuesday by saying that he will not talk about the subject until tomorrow.
"We are going to have breakfast now," López Obrador argued to escape a question that seemed impertinent.
Mexico has just given new
support to the Cuban government,
in whose dungeons 1,075 political prisoners are resisting today
.
The Sandinista leader has the unrestricted support of the other two dictatorships in the region, Cuba and Venezuela, and with more or less concealed sympathies from governments and leftist parties.
In this way, after the first effort by
the United States,
which provided the logistics for the transfer to
Washington
of the 222 political prisoners, as well as the humanitarian and legal coverage for their stay in the country, Spain, Chile and Argentina are the countries that shown its solidarity with the "stateless", who have not only lost their nationality, but also their properties and accounts, as well as their citizenship rights in perpetuity.
