Managua (AP) — Nicaraguan President
Daniel Ortega is accusing the U.S. of
"taking bread" from the poor by holding back
aid.
The U.S. said this week it will continue
delaying some us$64 million in development
aid because of an election dispute in the
Central American nation.
Ortega's leftist Sandinistas won a majority
of mayorships in the November vote. He
defends the election as fair, but the
opposition argues that it was fraudulent.
The president said Friday that his
government "will not negotiate the
mayorships" his party won.
U.S. Ambassador to Nicaragua Robert Callahan
said Thursday that the aid could be canceled
if no resolution is found after three
months.
