In the shade of Lewites     The popular celebration was made in the Seat of the Faith, and Ortega pronounced his speech from the acoustic shell that Herty Lewites constructed, that was strong candidate to the Presidency until its sudden death the two of June of the 2006.

In its first speech like President, characterized for being enough general and without making specific in the mechanisms which he tries to fulfill the ambitious promises that did in the electoral campaign, Daniel Ortega reiterated his critics to the neoliberal model, indicating it of being the cause about which the benefits of the economic growth that has experienced the country in the last years have reached to the more vulnerable social sectors, only benefitting small economic groups from the country.

Last night Ortega in the Seat of the Faith, accompanied by presidents Hugo Chavez, of Venezuela, and Evo Morales, of Bolivia, in broad strokes delineated what called a “new way” for Nicaragua, which can be interpreted like a route towards Populism in the style of the own Chávez, main protagonist of the taking of possession of the sandinista leader.

“I have considered international the financial organisms, that the neoliberal model has not managed to solve the necessities of the population”, it indicated.

ILLITERACY LIKE EXAMPLE

Ortega put as example of the failure of the neoliberal model, the growth of the index of the illiteracy in the country, that according to the President now reaches almost a 35 percent, whereas when giving the position in 1990, assured, came near to the 12 percent.

He emphasized that during these 16 years, in spite of the severe economic crisis that has faced, the Nicaraguan town has not carried out popular revolts to overthrow governments, similars to the happened ones in Bolivia and Ecuador.

“A NEW WAY”

“That demonstrates to the wisdom and patience of the Nicaraguan town. Now we have the challenge to lay a new way, that allows the Nicaraguan families to live with dignity”, added.

The agent chief executive was accompanied in the act by the main representatives of the hard left denominated one of Latin America, personified by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela; Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, and the Vice-president of Cuba, Juan Ramon Machado, in representation of the maximum exponent of this political current in the region, Cuban governor Fidel Castro.

One of the few concrete promises that Ortega did was that Nicaragua as of today would be integrated to the Bolivariana Alternative by the Américas (White) that promotes Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, as contraparte of the Area of Free Commerce of the Américas, that impels the United States.

The adhesion to this treaty of that already comprises Cuba and Bolivia, would be signed today, taking advantage of the visit the Venezuelan agent chief executive.

Ortega made a species of “popular consultation” similar to those of the programs of televising aids, when asking to him the assistants to the act who decided if Nicaragua will be integrated to the Dawn or no.

VERDICT POPULIST

Applause, alive shouts and on the part of the thousands of assistants to the Seat of the Faith, were the verdict in which Ortega was based to decide the integration from the country to the commercial initiative that promotes Chávez.

Ortega talked about to the Free Trade Agreement subscribed between Central America and Dominican Republic with the United States (Dr-Cafta by its abbreviations in English), signed by (ex-) president Enrique Bolaños, like a disadvantageous commercial agreement for Nicaragua, whose conditions will later have to be reviewed.

“The problem in those agreements is that an asymmetry with the economy of Nicaragua exists, that cannot compete with an economy like the one of the United States”, it said.

NONRECONOCIÓBENEFICIOS OF THE DR-CAFTA

The new President did not stop to recognize that the Dr Cafta, effective in the country from April of the last year, has been responsible by a fort begins to appear in the exports, that for the first time reached the 1.000 million dollars in the 2006.

against PRIVATIZATION

During the electoral campaign, Ortega indicated to the electrical distributor Fenosa Union, of being responsible for the power crisis in the country, and threatened expelling it from the country if she did not manage myself to surpass the problem.

When Ortega left the power in 1990 and the power system was nationalized, the country crossed a crisis of blackouts of up to 12 hours of duration.

On this crisis it said that already they are preparing an emergency plan to face it, but that it did not detail either, talking about only to the brought one of 40 generating of energy of 1,5 megavatios each one, contributed by the Petróleos company of Venezuela (PDVSA).

MEGASALARIOS REDUCTION

Another promise that it did not specify was the one to reduce to the megasalarios of the officials government and the referred one to conform a Cabinet that would be compound in equal parts by men and women.

The President noticed the civil employees of his Cabinet, who did not forget that they were placed in his positions by the “town of Nicaragua”.

“And that civil employee who believes itself that he is in clouds and forgets because he is there, that he is lowered of that cloud, or we are going to him to sing that song that says: I fell of the cloud in which it walked”, affirmed the incoming agent chief executive.

IT SINGS ZERO TO TOMATIERRAS

The agent chief executive mentioned which Nicaragua is a country that has sufficient earth for all its inhabitants, in a species of call not to take private lands or public.

“What it is needed in this country it is a policy of State for the earth delivery for the farmers, and financing so that they can work it”, exclaimed.

Ortega also said to feel satisfied because she has found much consensus in many of the great economic groups of the country that allows to obtain that unit of nation that needs the country to get out of the the economic jam in which it is.

NOTHING DE INSTITUTIONAL TRANsFORMACIÓN

Throughout his speech of approximately one hour, Ortega did not make reference to the problem of in favor control of the diverse institutions of the State.

Ortega and Arnoldo Alemán have distributed for the FSLN and Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC) the control of the powers of the State, the Contraloría and the Office of the public prosecutor, and although at the moment there is no an elect General prosecutor, Ortega relegated east subject to background.

And test of that pact release-sandinista is that German it arrived at the possession taking of Ortega because if it has not passed anything with first, that purge a sentence of 20 years of jail by fraud to the Nicaraguan State.
