A group of exiled and denationalized people from Nicaraguans-among them former revolutionary commanders-called Mexican federal deputies to give up the conformation of the Mexico-Nicaragua friendship group, which is planned to install on October 7.
In a letter sent yesterday to the Chamber of Deputies, they made a summary of human rights violations committed by “the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship”, documented by international organizations, as well as the “electoral farce” with which Ortega was religious in 2021, and the entry into force of a new Constitution that allows the Executive Power to be exercised “de facto by two co-presidents: Ortega and Murillo”.
They added that the other powers of the State, the Judicial, the Legislative and the Electoral, “were eliminated and converted into organs, with a lower rank than a ministry and subordinates to dictators’ co -chants.”
The letter is signed by 74 Nicaraguans persecuted by the current government of his nation, such as Claudia Vargas – Defensor of Human Rights, feminist and widow of Roberto Samcam, former supporter of Sandinismo who was killed last June in Costa Rica–; Mónica Baltodano and Dora María Téllez, former commanders of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN); Luis Carrión, former commander of the Revolution, former member of the Sandinista National Directorate; Ligia I. Gómez Sandoval, former political secretary of the FSLN; Moisés Hassan, former member of the National Reconstruction Board, the first government after the revolution, among others, as well as for four civil organizations of that country.
They question that the legislators of a country like Mexico, which has been generous with the persecuted politicians and solidarity with freedom “tend their hand” to a regime like Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo who “has committed crimes against humanity.”
They insisted that Mexican deputies must give up the formation of the Mexico-Nicaragua Friendship Group, “which offends the people of Nicaragua and contributes to washing the face of one of the most cruel and fierce dictatorships they have known in the history of our continent.”
In addition, they requested to reorient legislative actions to promote the defense of human rights in the Central American nation, demanding the liberation of all political prisoners.
