RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Nicaragua condemned on Tuesday the “inadmissible interference” of Spain in its internal affairs and accused it of lacking “moral authority” in the face of “so many fallacies, cover-ups, lies, crimes, hate crimes and crimes against humanity, which they do not confess, but which the whole world knows about and condemns”.
In a note addressed to the Spanish Foreign Ministry, the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry regretted and condemned “the inadmissible interference of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain in internal affairs that only correspond to our country and our people”.
The Government of Daniel Ortega pointed out that it has denounced, and will continue to “denounce the cynical and continuous interference and intervention in our internal affairs, unbecoming of democratic governments, also unbecoming of regimes that continuously fail to comply with the rights of their peoples to autonomy or autonomous processes of independence”.
Spain warned on Monday that the elections in Nicaragua are not credible after decisions such as the cancellation, three months before the general elections, of the legal personality of the opposition alliance Citizens for Liberty (CxL) by the country’s Supreme Electoral Council.
Through a communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Spanish Government considered that this measure, together with others recently adopted by the Nicaraguan authorities, “prevent the electoral process in the making from offering a result with guarantees and credibility”.
NICARAGUA REMINDS SPAIN OF THE GAL CASE
In the note, Nicaragua pointed out to Spain “the obligation it has to respect, as we have respected them, and to assume, without delay, the ways to respond to the just claims of the inhabitants of this so-called Iberian Peninsula”.
He also reminded Spain of “its serious pending issues, which date back to the 1980s, when it is then “socialist” president, Mr. Felipe González, created the so-called Anti-Terrorist Liberation Groups (GAL), which forever stained Spain with responsibility for crimes against humanity, never investigated or tried”.
He assured that Spain has not clarified “each of those hate crimes and crimes against humanity that, according to the United Nations, do not prescribe, that is to say, are pending investigation and condemnation in that, called by themselves, “perfect democracy.”
“We remind the Spanish Government that the truth cannot be hidden, nor does it prescribe, despite the impudence with which they pretend to present themselves before the world as pristine, clean, impeccable, very correct, and demanding with those they consider inferior, imperfect, incorrect and, still under their already, by grace and struggles, non-existent and imaginary, colonial empire”, he continued.
SPANISH INSTITUTIONS ARE “IMMORAL”.
For Nicaragua, “all these hate crimes and crimes against humanity, which qualify as State terrorism, show the immoral character of Spanish institutions, which shamelessly dare to place crowns on their discredited heads, pretending to ignore the criminal charge of historical manipulation of a State that persecutes, imprisons, tortures and kills, without any self-criticism, repentance, justice, or rectification.”
“To the Spanish State, that which proudly criticizes, accuses and demands what they themselves do not give, history will never absolve them”, he added.
Managua indicated that “the infamy cannot be hidden with bravado, disguising themselves as judges, which they are not, nor can they be, nor has anyone summoned them, because they lack moral authority, or respect, in the face of so much fallacy, cover-up, lies, crimes, hate crimes and crimes against humanity, which they do not confess, but which everyone knows, and condemns.”
“In the face of so much hypocrisy and so much shamelessness, we reject every one of the words contained in the unspeakable, false, and farcical calls of the Spanish Foreign Ministry,” he continued.
Likewise, he challenged “the Kingdom of Spain to assume all its true responsibility in its ferocious and brutal colonial and neocolonial history, as well as its fascism disguised as socialism”, and to “open the doors, without repression, or persecution, or excessive violence, to the free decision and vote on the statuses that each country of that, for today, centralized State, claims and demands”.
“FOOLS AT LAST”.
Nicaragua said “that we are not, nor will we be, never again, territories dominated by the criminal greed of anyone” and invited Spain to reflect.
“Let us reflect: Before so much proof, before so much abundance of truths, before that Spanish State that has never had the integrity to confess its faults, how is it possible that, mindless at last, they dare to give lessons of democracy, when they neither are, nor set an example, nor comply with truth and justice,” he noted.
The United Nations, the United States, the European Union, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Spain have joined the denunciations about the lack of credibility of the elections in the Central American country.
