«We spoke with @WHAAsstSecty (Brian Nichols) about the US commitment to Nicaragua, especially the role of youth in the democratization of the country. Until we achieve justice, democracy and freedom for Nicaragua, we will not rest, “wrote Lesther Alemán on his Twitter account.
AUN pointed out in its social network profile that the democratization of Nicaragua is essential so that “we can live in freedom, justice and progress.” According to Alemán, the United States “ratifies its commitment to the multiple and serious violations of human rights in Nicaragua, and the need for the country to achieve justice and a stable and lasting democracy.”
For his part, the leader of Masaya, Yubrank Suazo, said in his social network account that the commitment to the freedom of Nicaragua and the return of democracy is real.
«Until the last breath to achieve a fair, free and democratic Nicaragua. We will not give up, the dictatorship will not be able to break us,” Max Jerez, another of those exiled to the United States and a member of the AUN, wrote on Twitter.
