Nicaraguan co-president Daniel Ortega’s remarks at July 19th celebrations in Managua have been purposely taken out of context and have been mistranslated and the international media is running wild. “They will never see another election where they can attempt to seize power by cheating their way into government.” In his address, Daniel warned that the country’s institutions will take measures to prevent political parties—which have been involved in recent violent acts aimed at inciting sedition, with political and financial backing from the United States—from undermining national peace. His comments weren’t directed at the Nicaraguan people nor in reference to their constitutional right to vote. He was referring to those who have promoted sanctions, foreign interference and acts that undermine the sovereignty and peace of Nicaragua.
