Nicaragua in the eyes of the world
Fredy Franco (*)
Again Nicaragua is the news in the world. The electoral victory of the
FSLN and their presidential candidate, Daniel Ortega, returned
the eyes from the world towards Nicaragua. It is that the
sandinismo - - historically--
it has projected of important way to this small Central American
country in the world at different times: with Sandino, with the
sandinista revolution, and today with the return from the FSLN
to the national Government.
This positive attention in main lines not only has to do with
the news coverage or mediatic attention that has waked up the
arrival to the government of the sandinistas, but by the amount
of delegations of political and social movements and official
delegations (more than 60) and the level of these, more than 16
at level of government or Chief of State of different parts from
the world, which confirms the interest by Nicaragua, the respect
and the recognition towards President Electo and his party, and
by extension to Nicaragua.
Sandino, from the center of America, Nicaragua, between 1927 and
1934, became symbol and reference of the anti-imperialist fight
not only America, but to world-wide level. The worthy and heroic
actions of the “Small Crazy Army” aroused the affections of the
towns and the progressive sectors at that time historical.
Sandino was the news and reference in America, in Europe, in
Asia and other regions of the world. For that reason combatant
also internacionalist by different parts from the world they
accompanied to Sandino and the Defending Army by the National
Sovereignty in this battle by national liberation and social
.redemption.
The sandinista revolution and the original revolutionary project
that raised called the attention of the world; the heroic
resistance of the Nicaraguan town, headed by the Sandinista
Government, to the policy military of the United States in years
80, the example of Nicaragua in the international relations and
their leadership, the legal victory of Nicaragua in Is It
against the war and the blockade American, among other factors,
turned to Nicaragua in one of the centers of world-wide
attention.
From 90 years that exemplary and heroic Nicaragua of years 80
began to be forgotten, to stop being a reference; and as by
magic art it disappeared of the international interest and the
news in the world, and if it were known suddenly or something is
spoken were because some misfortune had happened (as the
“natural disasters”) or by the news of corruption of the
governors.
Today again Nicaragua, with the sandinista victory, opens a
space of attention in the world, opens a great expectation of
which it can make the FSLN in his return to the national
Government. That positive expectation is necessary to harness it
in interest of the integral and progressive development in
Nicaragua, to position from better way to the country in the
world, in which it must contribute to forge and to construct new
relations signed by the cooperation, the solidarity and the
construction of a world more just.
Nicaragua confirms the wave of progressive changes that have
followed one another in Latin America in the last ten years, in
which in each society and nation important projects of
transformation are being pushed, each one with its
particularitity, but in which there are subjects in common, as
the combat to the poverty, the fight to leave the delay and the
subdevelopment, so that the State assumes its responsibility in
the economic-social development and so that a new type of
international relations is constructed, shared in common and
right.
Nicaragua must contribute - - with creativity and perseverancia--,
from its brief space, to that fight common, and to be example in
America and the world of which it is possible to be made to
construct to societies and right nations, worthy and shared in
common, that it is what we needed today to change this unjust
and more and more unequal world in that we lived.
