Nicaraguan President Insists on OAS Intervention
President of Nicaragua Enrique Bolaños has insisted Sunday on demanding the presence of the Organization of American Status (OAS) in this country to settle the legal issue between the Executive and the Legislative powers.

In remarks to local television, Bolaños refused to accept the reforms to the Constitution passed by Congress because, he said, they had been ruled illegal by the Central American Court of Justice (CACJ).

He commented that in the event of disagreements between the two government branches continue, the OAS should enforce the Democratic Charter.

In Bolaños´ view, the regional organization should be a guarantor of the national dialogue between the government, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and the Liberal Constitutional Party (PLC).

The president pulled out of the talks alleging that the two opposition parties had failed to fulfill agreements, a claim that has been denied by both the Sandinistas and the Liberals.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, FSLN secretary general Daniel Ortega told an International Conference against Terrorism held in Havana that the constitutional reforms seek to create windows for democratic participation.

Ortega insisted that "we are not satisfied with our country´s political model" including neoliberal-oriented measures that benefit the oligarchy and neglect the poor, causing majorities to starve.

He disqualified the OAS´ability to intervene in an internal conflict that must be solved by Nicaraguans without any foreign interference.

OAS is a Washington-subsidized organization set up to defend its interests and those of Washington´s servile rulers in Latin America.
