Nicaragua Probes US
Republican Poke
MANAGUA - According to
Nicaraguan Election
General Attorney Blanca
Salgado, the Supreme
Election Council of
Nicaragua filed a
complaint against the
International Republican
Institute (IRI) which
will be processed.
The accusation was
brought before the
Public Ministry or
General Attorney's
Office and its
processing is
compulsory, said
Salgado.
The complaint is based
on alleged violations of
the Political
Constitution of
Nicaragua by IRI, a
non-governmental body
related to the US
Republican Party and,
thus, the Public
Ministry and the
Election General
Attorney's Office are
compelled to start
processing it.
The magistrate called
IRI representatives as
witnesses to testify
before the National
Election General
Attorney and there is an
investigation underway
to determine whether
there actually was a
violation of the
Political Constitution
or not.
The IRI sponsored events
of the MRS (Sandinista
Renovation Movement), a
small party whose legal
capacity was removed
because it failed to
comply with the election
law. |
