Nicaraguan President
Harshly Criticizes
Bush’s Anti-Cuban
Measures
Nicaraguan president
Daniel Ortega on Tuesday
harshly criticized U.S.
President George W.
Bush’s plans to announce
new anti-Cuba measures
today to the accredited
diplomatic corps in
Washington.
“Imagine that, here we
are, summoning the
diplomatic corps because
of the tragedy we have
here, and on Wednesday
in Washington, the U.S.
president is summing the
diplomatic corps to
deliver bad news to the
Cuban people,” Ortega
commented.
The Nicaraguan leader
met with
ambassadors to ask for
international solidarity
to help deal with the
devastation caused by
the storms that have
affected the country in
the last 52 days.
“I thought that the U.S.
president would be
calling on the
diplomatic corps to talk
about the fires in Los
Angeles, (but) no, he’s
going to talk about
keeping up his fire
against our Cuban
brothers and sisters,”
Ortega stated.
The Sandinista leader
greeted Cuba’s
ambassador in Nicaragua,
Luis Hernández, who was
in the room, and sent
“our solidarity to our
brother President Fidel
Castro and to the
valiant Cuban people.” |
