Sandino puppies – MDZ Online

Some time ago, and in connection with the denunciations of corruption that weighed on the former Brazilian President Luíz Inácio & # 39; Lula & # 39; Da Silva, we have raised (https: / /principedelmanicomio.wordpress.com/2018/04/08/hasta-donde-debemos-practicar-las-verdades/) that it is urgent to answer the question posed by Silvio Rodríguez, where should we practice truths? , up to ALWAYS . There are principles that can not and should not be changed and that must be defended for their intrinsic worth, honesty is one of them, so only a serious progressive policy can be rebuilt in which it is ruled for citizenship and claim to live from politics ", and is a reality that applies today to the case of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega .

The crisis that the country of Central America has been facing for months, aggravated by the excessive violence applied by the Sandinista government exceeded the national limits and is already a debate between all the countries of the continent, since the sanction possible against Nicaragua, accused by human rights violation bodies, began to be debated within the Organization of American States (OAS) to human rights, l & # 39; The use of police and paramilitaries in the repression of the demonstration, which killed 351 people.

Ortega chairs Nicaragua since 2007, in his second term as head of state since he had already been between 1979 and 1990 after the triumph of 19 July 1979 of the Sandinista Revolution, but in this cycle the denunciations of corruption intensify on the government and the nepotism, a reality denied by Ortega and its vice-president … his wife Rosario Murillo .

But President Ortega is far from what Commander Ortega was, and the directives that the Sandinista Front now defends from National Liberation (FSLN) are no longer the flags that led to the triumph on Somocismo four decades ago . Like most Latin American national liberation movements, the FSLN had a clear Marxist vision of reality in its program, largely influenced by Cuban Castroism, and today it has become a self-referential family project far removed from needs of the Cuban people. The Nicaraguan people

The epicenter of the protests is located in Masaya, a few kilometers from the capital Managua, since the beginning of protests, three months ago, after the failure of social security reforms and which has gradually served fertile ground for a deeper claim that has led to the resignation request of Ortega. However, after the crackdown last weekend at the National University of Managua, on July 18 came another stronghold of opposition, and as if it was a date marked for violence, Sandinista forces entered Masaya, and especially in the indigenous community of Monimbó, with blood and fire.

According to the president of the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (CENIDH), Vilma Núñez, Ortega was focusing on Monimbó's fear that the same thing would happen on the same date & # 39; ; since this community was central to the fall of Somoza in 1979, a rebellion led by Ortega himself, among others, since on the 19th a new anniversary of the flight of Somoza and the triumph of the Revolution is celebrated. Like Carlos Mejía Godoy, who in turn was a Sandinista and now a critic of the government, "who would say that four decades later this brave Morimbo, this unbeatable Morimbo, would re-insure himself with more ardor, with more heroism, with more daring, give the battle against crime, against injustice, against impunity.

The vice-president, and the wife of the President of the Republic Daniel Ortega, Rosario Murillo was very clear about the chances of success of the citizens' demonstration.He said there are days … They will not pbad! They have not arrived and they will not come in. This atrocity will not govern Nicaragua, terrorism will not govern Nicaragua, the evil ones will never be able to govern Nicaragua.

Therefore, after the crackdown, the protest was silenced and the government troops o nt celebrated by singing it hurts you, Daniel, Daniel, here it remains (…) Daniel, Daniel, the city is with him. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqvX_HPZtuo)

Gone are the days when Sandino's puppies ended with Somocismo, and in a painful wink to the eye. Nicaragua must face, as it did four decades ago, an OAS sanction . Then the OAS approved a resolution in which the regime of Anastasio Somoza was sentenced and demanded his permanent and immediate replacement. Today, we do not have many, but the condemnation of the institutional violence unleashed in Nicaragua by the international community is clear. Faced with this, Sandinism has proposed a contrary resolution that proposes to reject the coup of opposition groups using the national dialogue promoted by the Government of Nicaragua, to try to legitimize their criminal actions against the civilian population and the police , in collusion with international groups of organized crime and terrorists, to destabilize the state of Nicaragua ", which is very far from the opinion of the United Nations which, through the intermediary of [ Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), accused the Ortega government of "killings, extrajudicial executions, ill-treatment, torture and arbitrary detentions of the country's predominantly young population" the OAS itself or the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the country The European Union and Vice President of the European Commission

On July 18, the OAS approved by 21 votes for, 3 against, 7 abstentions and 3 absences, the Declaration condemning the Nicaraguan government and rejecting the project Orteguismo by similar numbers, 3 votes in favor, 20 against , 8 abstentions and 3 absentees. In the approved statement, the Nicaraguan executive is "encouraged" to support an agreed electoral timetable in the context of the national dialogue process. Now it's time to move to Daniel Ortega

Faced with this reality, it is essential to always apply our truths, because if we criticize some actors in those who do not think like us, we must be more inflexible with those who we place in the same field. A detour from those who think in the same way gives birth to those who oppose to being perceived as a real alternative. The option of a democratic left that does not give answers is not a democratic left that does it. The option of a democratic left that does not give answers is the right. That is why it is fundamental to apply the truths always, never to stop giving answers.

Young people grew up and became adults. In his hands is to stay, or not, the Sandino puppies.
