They propose compensation The economist and jurist Alexander Arauz, added another scene: the compensation, to obtain that Costa Rica makes specific the pardon of which owes Nicaragua to him.       “That would mean that an international organism would have to yield resources to him equivalent to Costa Rica, or that to the neighboring country also reduces debt to him”, indicated. This week President of Costa Rica, Oscar Aryan, noticed that it is “difficult” to pardon the pending debt of Nicaragua. But the Central bank of Nicaragua (BCN) insisted on which the tico Government has the commitment to support to the countries of (HIPC).

The new Government of President Daniel Ortega, not yet is pronounced officially on the renuencia of Costa Rica to pardon part or the totality of almost 600 million dollars that to him Nicaragua owes. Nevertheless, some economists shuffled diverse alternatives.

“Costa Rica already politicized the subject, the tico government is using the problem of the debt to put pressure on Nicaragua”, said to the economist and adviser of the Central bank of Nicaragua (BCN), Róger Bristle.

“In other words, it is not within the framework seeing it of the Central American integracionista spirit, who they always have lacked, and then that is a problem that would be to discuss itself at level of Presidents”, it emphasized.

Bristle maintained that the pretenciones Costa Rican of navigation armed on the Nicaraguan San Juan river also are influencing in the renuencia of Costa Rica to make official the pardon, within the framework of the Initiative for Poor Countries Highly Become indebted (HIPC).

San jOse introduced a demand before the Court the International of Justice of Is It, against Nicaragua, to obtain that their guards naveguen armed on the San Juan river.

“We remember that there is a judgment in Is It (Court the International of Justice) with Costa Rica for that reason, and that situation is also influencing, so that president Daniel Ortega, who from the Peace accords of Esquipulas II has good relations with Aryan tico President Oscar, would have opportunity to raise the subject to his homologous one”, emphasized.

“Spain could reduce the debt to him to Costa Rica (quantified in 58 million dollars), within the frame in the agreement of association with the European Union, the mechanism could materialize itself there (with it Nicaragua would manage to reduce the debt with the ticos)”, declared.

However, the economist Jose Luis Medal insisted on which the will of Costa Rica stops any exit will be essential.
