Nicaragua elections 2021: FSLN versus right-wing coup and Somoza
Lenin Fisher
The political struggle in Nicaragua has closed with a flourish, in the last quarter, because the National Assembly has approved a Christmas package of laws that defend, in synthesis, three great values: human rights, the sovereignty of the country and justice. Undoubtedly, the institutionality and the rule of law have been strengthened.
The legislative power with the Sandinista majority and the Nicaraguan alliance triumphs (majority obtained by popular vote in the 2016 elections), has lined the picture, in a baseball-loving country, for the presidential and deputy elections, which will be held on 7 November 2021, where there will be two great rivals: the Sandinista Front and the coup and Somoza right wing.
A law against cyber crimes. Another against foreign agents. One that restores life imprisonment for all kinds of heinous crimes (approval in the first legislature to make the constitutional reform next year). And another that prevents those who betray their country from being elected to public office. A legal quartet whose background is the Political Constitution, the Penal Code and requirements of international organizations and treaties, among others.
Nicaragua has modernized its legal system, as have many developed, rich and democratic countries in North America and Europe where they punish cyber-crimes (including perverse false news or fake news), they do not allow people or organizations to destabilize their countries with foreign financing, they maintain life imprisonment, multiple sentences of hundreds of years in prison or the death penalty (in various styles: electric chair, lethal injection, etc.) and apply the punitive power of the rule of law to punish, without half measures, to the traitors of the country.
Thus, the governments and parliaments of the United States, Canada, Japan, the European Union (starting with Spain), the United Kingdom (with or without Brexit), Australia and New Zealand should at least congratulate (in a manner verbally and in writing) to the Nicaraguan government and its parliament for such important laws, which will contribute to making a more civilized, tolerant, respectful, modern, humane, just and peaceful society. The human rights rapporteurs at the UN and the OAS, their general assemblies and general secretaries should do the same.
The right-wing coup plotters (businessmen, politicians, bankers, aspiring presidents, religious leaders, NGO managers) are the only ones concerned about the new laws because they promoted the soft coup of April 2018, causing hundreds of crimes and murders atrocious, destroying the country's economy (1.5 billion dollars in losses), spreading millions of false news, demanding deaths (200, 300, 400 or even three million corpses), promoting terrorism, calling for military interventions and pleading with governments, parliaments and international organizations the application of economic and financial sanctions against Nicaragua, thus violating the human rights of all its inhabitants.
All of the above with the essential money from the United States and Europe (our models of democracy) to establish a true right-wing coup dictatorship, according to the format of Bolivia 2019.
In addition, in July of this year, the deadline for registration, legalization and obtaining legal status for political parties (including new parties), which will participate in the elections, had been extended to five (5) months before November 7 2021, that is, until June 7, 2021.
And as a corollary, it has already been announced that electoral reforms will be carried out in May 2021, according to the deadlines established by the electoral law.
The FSLN, Sandinismo, revolutionary forces, organizations that believe in national reconciliation and in the country project that has been promoted from 2007 to today, are prepared for the 2021 electoral contest, with leaderships, unity, programs, proposals , works, actions, patriotism, ideals, dreams and hopes.
