The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, extended this Saturday his congratulations to the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), Nicaragua’s main political party, for the 61th anniversary of its foundation.
“Long live brave and patriotic Nicaragua. I congratulate the Nicaraguans, our brother and leader Daniel Ortega, his partner Rosario Murillo, on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the founding of the FSLN, a revolution that opened paths towards the future giant of its people,” he stated through Twitter.
The FSLN was founded in 1961 as a political-military organization inspired by the anti-imperialist legacy of Augusto Sandino, who fought US intervention in his country between 1927 and 1933.
The party governs in Nicaragua with President Daniel Ortega, who has deepened ties of friendship and cooperation with the Venezuelan government.
On Tuesday, the Venezuelan government congratulated Nicaragua on the 43rd anniversary of the Sandinista revolution that overthrew the Anastasio Somoza Debayle dictatorship.
In fact, the Foreign Minister of the Republic, Carlos Faría, traveled to Managua to commemorate the Sandinista revolution.
«Nicaragua was a beacon of freedom for the peoples of America who were fighting for their liberation. Along with the brilliance of the heroic Cuban Revolution, it became a reference of dignity, firmness, selflessness and courage in the struggles of the Great Homeland against imperialism”, he said from Nicaragua.
