Daniel Ortega and his petrified, but current thought

Daniel Ortega celebrated his “victory” through a language that projects the most eschatological of his ideology: “sons of bitches of the Yankee imperialists.”

It is the way in which the self-proclaimed president of Nicaragua describes the politicians that he himself ordered to be taken to jail: “They should be taken to the United States, they are not Nicaraguans, they stopped being Nicaraguans. They have no homeland ”.

Daniel Ortega’s thought was petrified since the last century, but at the same time it is law in 2021.

A trip to what Sergio Ramírez wrote to learn about the first engine of Ortega’s petrified thought is not wasted: “When the revolution triumphed in 1979, we were already predestined to disagree with the United States. The speech had no cracks. They were the cause of all the evils in our history; they had supported the dictatorship under obscene patronage and had nursed homeland-selling politicians; They had looted our natural wealth, the mines, the forests; the proclamation of our sovereignty could only be made against the United States, and our nationalism was born from that contradiction. The nation had been confiscated, and for Nicaragua, as a small country, the very reason for its existence was linked to its actual independence. This was the true meaning of national liberation ”(Goodbye Boys, 1999; edited by Alfaguara in 2007).

42 years have passed and Daniel Ortega continues to exploit and profit from his ideological roots. There is no better sample of ideological dead who sell new ways of governing than the Nicaraguan presidential couple.

Sergio Ramírez was Daniel Ortega’s political travel companion for many years; between 1985 and 1990 he served as vice president of Nicaragua.

Today the writer had to leave Nicaragua in the face of the imminent persecution of his old comrade. From Malaga, on Sunday he redefined Nicaragua: “A jail that encloses another jail, a double circle that closes itself with a rusty key (…) A country that has borders for bars. (El País, November 7).

Ramírez shares what a friend of hers confesses: “I have the country as a prison, they took my passport at the airport claiming that it had been reported as lost, never having left the drawer where I keep it …”.

On Wednesday afternoon, eight countries from the OAS mechanism presented a resolution to seek “other actions,” which could be understood as the suspension of Nicaragua from such an organism. Costa Rica, Chile, Canada, the United States, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Antigua and Barbuda estimate November 30 as the deadline to make a decision in this regard.

The approval of the resolution requires 18 votes to continue in the sanction process. To move forward, a Permanent Council must be convened and the green light occurs if two-thirds of the states support it. This translates to 24 out of 35 votes.

The government of President López Obrador has spent five days without establishing a position on what happened in the presidential elections in Nicaragua. Virtually all Latin American countries have already done so, including Argentina, whose president Alberto Fernández goes hand in hand with AMLO on foreign policy issues.

Perhaps in an act of consistency, President López Obrador can no longer appeal to non-interference, after the UN Security Council launched his proposal to 19 G20 countries to contribute a percentage of their GDP to countries poor.

The famous #OrgulloSEM dissipates due to modesty in the face of the silence of the AMLO government in the face of what happens in the dictatorships of Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba.

Ortega, petrified, but in force.
