The 93rd day of the Nicaraguan civil and peaceful rebellion for freedom and democracy, today marks the 19th anniversary of the armed revolution Sandinista
July 19 is a national holiday, according to the Labor Code promulgated in October 1996, at the end of the democratic government of Violeta Barrios de Chamorro . However, for many Nicaraguans – not just old Somocistas, but also authentically democratic – this is not a festive date. For them it is rather a sad day, because on July 19, 1979 democracy was not established, as promised, but a new dictatorship was established that was worse than the Somoza . Now, because of the bloody crackdown on people unleashed by the dictatorship of Ortega – who calls the second part of the Sandinista revolution – there are probably many more Nicaraguans who do not recognize this anniversary as a national holiday .
Daniel Ortega and Murillo, along with their armed and civil supporters, celebrate this anniversary of their revolution by winning great victories in the war they wage against the disarmed people . But in reality there are great political and moral defeats that have suffered the Ortega regime, in the country and internationally.
The world is appalled by the systematic mbadacre of the Ortega regime against a people who demand only justice, freedom and democracy. In this context, it is a slap in the face of this ruthless dictatorship, that on the eve of July 19, the OAS approved an energetic resolution that condemns it and demands that it be "ruthless". it organizes early elections to pave the way for democracy.
Moral defeat for Ortega and Murillo, the statement of the former Uruguayan President and Revolutionary Veteran, José (Pepe) Mujica . In an intervention in the Senate of Uruguay, in which occupies a siege, former President Mujica said on Tuesday: "I feel that something (the Sandinista revolution) that was a dream deviates, falls into the autocracy and I understand that who yesterday were revolutionaries have lost the sense that in life there are times when you have to say that I'm going ". Immediately after the Uruguayan senators had unanimously approved a statement proposed by the government party – which has remained but democratic – in which the Ortega regime is demanded "the immediate cessation of violence against the people" and the Urges to hold elections Free and transparent
Everyone, from Nicaragua and from any other country in the world, can value the Sandinista revolution as it wishes according to its political affiliations, its ideological convictions and its ethical values. But a dictatorship is the same as any other dictatorship, whether on the right like that of the Somozas, or on the left, like the Sandinistas from 1979 to 1990 and they say Ortega and Murillo, which is their current dictatorial regime .
