Sandinistas Serious on Poverty, IMF
Sociologist Orlando Nunez, who will direct the Commission against Poverty starting January 10, assured that the future Sandinista government would assume a critical position against the International Monetary Fund.

"We have criticized the IMF and will continue to do so, not only on behalf of the government but also as a society," declared Nunez to La Primerisima Radio Station on Thursday.

The future official of the administration of President-elect Daniel Ortega confirmed they ratified that position in their recent meetings with the international financial organisms.

"We clarify that poverty is our priority," he stressed and added that they would stop the privatization encouraged by the neoliberal executives in power since 1990.

According to Nunez, the IMF, the World Bank, the Inter American Development Bank and other financial entities are just waiting for the establishment of the Sandinista Front to sit and negotiate.

However, the Sandinista government will trust not only in the IMF and will seek financial support from other entities outside Washington, he remarked.
