Mexican senator demands López Obrador to stop being “submissive” and condemn repression in Nicaragua

Mexican senator and human rights defender Emilio Álvarez Icaza affirms that the Ortega-Murillo regime is sustained due to repression and political violence. Faced with this reality, he demands that the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, stop being “submissive and unaware” before the Nicaraguan dictatorship.

Álvarez was a participant along with three other senators in a complaint about the repression in Nicaragua, while an appearance by the president of Chile, Gabriel Boric, was taking place, in which they also targeted the Mexican president.

Álvarez points out that the protest has to do “essentially with three axes. The first is solidarity with the people of Nicaragua, who are experiencing dark and painful moments due to the betrayal of the dictator Ortega, who today represents the just reasons why he took up arms in the Sandinista revolution, today unhappily and painfully prostituted.” said the diplomat through an interview with the digital program This week.

«I am from that generation that grew up hoping for a continent free of dictatorships that Nicaragua inspired. Today, the Nicaraguan dictatorship abuses, mistreats, tortures and murders. We decided, those of us who make up the Plural Group, to have a gesture of solidarity denouncing Ortega’s murderer,” the activist reiterated.

Secondly, it expresses that the intention of this action is “to denounce what is happening in Nicaragua, from the point of view of consistency with human rights. Gabriel Boric has decided, in an act of consistency, not to be silent, not to close his eyes to what is happening in Nicaragua. There I go the third axis. The contrast between what Gabriel Boric has done and what Andrés Manuel López Obrador has done. Mirrors help to see the real dimension of things, beyond the speeches.

The human rights defender regrets that López Obrador maintains a “role of complicity with the Ortega dictatorship”, and affirms that Mexico has decided to close its eyes to the situation in the North American country and continue with the diplomatic relations that have been maintained in both countries. until now.

“A week ago, the Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard was in the Senate. We insist that the Mexican government has to break relations with the Ortega dictatorship, with this prostitution of the revolution that it painfully represents. We believe that Mexico must be consistent with its history, when, for example, it broke relations with (Augusto) Pinochet, when it broke relations with (Francisco) Franco, when it broke relations with (Anastasio) Somoza,” adds the senator.

Last Thursday, November 24, Boric made a speech in the Senate of the Republic of Mexico in which he denounced the situation of political prisoners. The group of three officials, Germán Martínez Cazares, Gustavo Madero Muñoz and Emilio Álvarez, spread a banner that stated “Boric does not protect murderers in Nicaragua, like AMLO.”

Boric maintained in his speech in the Mexican Senate that “Latin America cannot be silent” in the face of human rights violations in the region and expressly denounced the situation of political prisoners in Nicaragua.
