Daniel Ortega has still not turned one
week to have assumed for the second time the Presidency of the
Republic, but already he is putting to Nicaragua - another time like
in the Eighties of century twenty just last in the eye of the
hurricane of the confrontation against the United States of North
America, that is Yankee imperialism as they call it in the leftist
slang.
Apparently Nicaragua could receive many
economic and material benefits, being associated to the Venezuela de
Hugo Chavez and the Iran de Mahmud Ahmadinejad, that lead the
antiAmerican world-wide fight now, financed with the immense
petroliferous wealth of its two countries. But still if it were
certain that Nicaragua would have insured in the long term
Venezuelan petroleum - paid and in favorable conditions of credit by
next the 200 years, as it assured Chávez in Managua during the
festejos by the taking possession president Ortega; and although it
was truth, also, the promise of multiple Ahmadinejad to give or to
facilitate on the credit projects of aid to the development, as well
as to pardon the debt of 152 million dollars that Nicaragua with
Iran has, although thus outside, we repeated, the price that it
would have to pay the Nicaraguan town could be very high.
When passing by Venezuela before coming to
Nicaragua, Ahmadinejad said to choir with Hugo Chavez - according to
the international news agency Asociated Press- informed “which they
are arranged to spend thousands of million dollars to finance
projects in other countries, in order to resist what they called the
American domination”. Chávez and Ahmadinejad specified that they are
arranged to as much spend two billion dollars in Nicaragua as in
Ecuador, where assumed the Presidency yesterday Mr. Rafael Correa,
another leader of extreme left close friend to Chávez. Those 2
billion dollars, said the Venezuelan agent chief executive, will
allow “to prop up investments in the nations whose governments make
an effort to free themselves of the imperialistic yoke of the United
States. The investment fund will be a liberation mechanism,
reiterated Chávez when concluding with its habitual phrase of “death
to imperialism”.
Nicaragua or was dragged in the past that
still is very recent, to the policy of confrontation against the
United States and the result was disastrous for the country, mainly
for the poor population the more including a thousands of sandinista
followers of Daniel Ortega, who were killed during the war or were
mutilated and in the neglect.
Without a doubt that Daniel Ortega and the
FSLN has the right and the freedom to choose the friendships that
they want. They can be friends not only of Chávez and Ahmadinejad
who lead the world-wide fight against the United States, but also of
the terrorists or “insurgents” who in Iraq, Afghanistan and other
countries fight to their way by the same cause. But they do not have
right to jeopardize to Nicaragua in any international adventure, do
not have to drag to the nation to another confrontation against the
United States and their allies, in which we only took those to lose
with unpredictable consequences. As he said the ex- presidential
candidate by ALN-PC, Eduardo to it Montealegre very well, yesterday
in the program First Flat of the Channel 2 and PRESS, Ortega gained
the right to govern but the one not to change the regime of the
country. And much less, we, the right to unite to Nicaragua to
adventurous alliances of fight against EE.UU nor against anybody
added.
It is possible to be governed from the
left and to be very well impelled the plans of social reform that is
wanted, with no need to look for international quarrels nor to
jeopardize to the country in foolish aggressive alliances like which
they promote Hugo Chavez and Mahmud Ahmadinejad. The present
experiences of Brazil, Chile and Uruguay in Ibero-America, and of
China and Vietnam in Asia, that left governments have at the same
time and excellent relations of friendship and cooperation with the
United States, therefore demonstrate it of incontrovertible way.
It is possible that the enemies of the
United States are right that assures that this one is debilitated
now, that it is on the the defense and it is the propitious moment
to attack it. But the participation of Nicaragua in the
confrontations against the United States, following adventurers like
Chávez and Ahmadinejad, is a folly that all we could pay too
expensive.
Daniel Ortega would have to reflect
sensibly on this and to rectify the course, before he is too much
behind schedule.
