Nicaragua’s Message to the International Forum against Imperialism, Fascism and Neocolonialism Excerpts:
3. The original peoples of Our Continental and Caribbean America, our ancestors, were visible to the Western and Christian world all the time they invaded us and colonized us, destroying our culture and the worldview of our original peoples, thus committing one of the greatest genocides in the history of Mankind, wiping out millions of human beings and extracting their valuable minerals with which the Western powers enriched themselves.
4. Imperialism, fascism and neocolonialism have relentlessly continued their criminal, inhuman policies of blatant theft of natural resources, against all humanity. The brotherly Palestinian People, the inhabitants of Gaza are the latest act of hegemonic imperial savagery. Our militant solidarity with the Palestinian People and our condemnation of the genocide and occupation by global imperialism and the Government of Israel.
10. Simón Bolívar, the Great Liberator of America put himself at the service of the oppressed and swore to break the chains of the dominant empire and generator of misery in our Great Patriotic Nation. Bolivarian thought and action is the antithesis of the Monroe Doctrine designed by the United States Government to dominate and take over our America and the World. Sandino in Nicaragua in the midst of the struggle against the US military aggression in the 20s and 30s of the last century, elaborated the Plan of the Supreme Dream of Bolívar in his vision of struggle for the Sovereignty and National Dignity of Nicaragua, managing to defeat the US invaders.
TeleSur Interview with Nicaragua Foreign Minister Denis Moncada He discusses the Monroe Doctrine, the OAS, the church, the rise of multilateralism, the canal, migration, crime.
“Q: What would you say, in a very simple way, have been the greatest achievements of Sandinismo? Denis Moncada: Freedom, ending a dictatorship that was precisely part of the extension of the Monroe Doctrine by the North American Government; freedom, direct participatory democracy, with the participation of the Nicaraguan People; the programs and economic projects that we are developing; the fight against poverty; equity and equality that advances; the education system; free universal health; the construction of infrastructure; the foreign policy of friendship and cooperation, promoting investments of interest to Nicaragua.”
Nicaragua “immediately” withdraws its ambassador from Argentina “Nicaragua announced the withdrawal of its ambassador from Argentina in the face of “repeated statements and expressions” from representatives of the new administration of that country, which will take office next Sunday the 10th, chaired by Javier Milei.
“In the face of repeated statements and expressions from the new rulers, the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity of Nicaragua has proceeded to withdraw its ambassador, fellow writer and communicator, Carlos Midence. The withdrawal is effective immediately,” signed by the country’s Foreign Minister, Denis Moncada Colindres.
Previously, several media outlets reported that the elected president of Argentina decided to exclude several leaders from his inauguration, scheduled for December 10, including the Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega. According to several sources, among the leaders who did not receive the invitation are also the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, that of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel and that of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi. However, it is stated that invitations were sent to leaders Xi Jinping of China, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil, and Vladimir Putin of Russia.
Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, had spread a message congratulating the Argentine people “for their exemplary and peaceful election day” on November 19, in which Milei triumphed, and stressed that they were “defenders of the principles of non-intervention, “respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.” On November 19, 2023, Javier Milei achieved 55.69% of the votes in the second round of the presidential elections in Argentina.”
