US Seeding War in
Nicaragua, Ortega
Nicaraguan President
Daniel Ortega denounced
the war against his
government by the United
States through its
embassy in Managua.
Addressing a rally held
Thursday night in
Managua to celebrate
International Workers
Day, the Sandinista
leader promised to
disclose, in due time,
the names of the agents
being paid millions of
dollars by Washington to
organize anti-government
protests.
Ortega claimed the
enemies of the
Sandinista Revolution
"are worried because
people are not taking to
the streets to protest
against our
revolutionary
government."
According to the
Nicaraguan President,
his enemies want to
repeat in Nicaragua what
they did against Chilean
president Salvador
Allende, who was
overthrown by a military
coup in September, 1973.
He said right-wing
groups funded with
millions of dollars from
abroad are trying to
create an image of chaos
within the country.
"We even know the exact
amount of money and the
name of the
organizations that will
fund the so-called
Alianza Democratica
(Democratic Alliance),"
he said.
Ortega also denounced
US-led policy against
Cuba and Venezuela, and
requested the release of
five Cuban nationals
unjustly held in US
prisons for fighting
terrorist acts by
Miami-based anti-Cuban
groups.
The May Day rally in
Nicaragua marked also
the beginning ofá the
celebrations for the
29th anniversary of the
July 19 Sandinista
Revolution in 1979. |
