Dora Argüello, daughter of three-time world champion Alexis Argüello (RIP) criticized the recent statements by the president of the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), Dante Mossi, who, during a debate on March 16, with the researcher Manuel Orozco returned to defend loans to the Ortega regime.
“Although Dante Mossi does not like to be told things to his face, he continues to oxygenate a narco dictatorship that has committed crimes against humanity and continues to put Nicaragua in debt,” the daughter of the deceased Nicaraguan boxer said on her Twitter account.

Referring to Nicaragua’s leaders, Argüello pointed out that “Ortega’s tyranny is not a legitimate government —but rather— a corrupt, criminal, and murderous misrule,” in response to Mossi’s assertion that Ortega is not a dictator. .
Argüello’s statements add to other strong criticism from analysts and opponents who affirm that CABEI member countries “collusion” not to block loans to Ortega so as not to lose the loans that each nation seeks at CABEI.
Both the political analyst Elisha Nunez and the lawyer Juan Diego Barberena They agree that these countries have obligations or implications with the bank and do not want Nicaragua to block their loans that they manage at CABEI.
Despite the indications, Mossi has assured that CABEI loans are not something that “I can turn on and off”, that his job is that this is done “properly”.

“We do not work for political complaints, but we have a mechanism through which people can complain and see if there are legitimate reasons to stop the project, this happens in all countries, not only in Nicaragua,” he said.
At the last minute it was learned that the Foreign Relations committees of the United States Senate and House today sent letters to the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica asking that CABEI’s financial support for the Nicaraguan regime be stopped.
CABEI is made up of the founding countries that are Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica; the non-founding regional countries Panama and the Dominican Republic; and the extra-regional countries Belize, Mexico, Taiwan, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Cuba and Korea.
The bank is the main “sponsor” of the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. In recent years, the financing of this regional entity went from representing 21.39% of the Public Investment Program (PIP) in 2017 to 39.14% in 2022.
