Nicaragua
Where’s the way out…?
justice, democracy and liberty for all?
How will we shake off the economic stagnation?
Is Nicaraguan society yet able to visualize
new horizon, a future with room for us all?
Most people have discarded a violent approach,
opting instead for civic struggle and resistance.
Two and a half months of “negotiations” have shown
that Ortega brought neither good will nor good faith to the table.
Even an electoral solution, also necessarily negotiated with him,
still appears to be enveloped in murky uncertainty.... continuar...

The repressive structures will eventually have to be investigated
When Nicaragua’s justice system
becomes independent and autonomous,
the structures that captured, beat, injured and killed
thousands of Nicaraguans will have to be investigated.
The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI)
explains in its report that the ways these structures were
recruited, armed and financed must also be investigated,
along with their actions in coordination with the National Police.
The investigation must also cover the Army’s role in training them
and the Vice President’s role in the orders they were issued.... continuar...

The FMLN’s debts at a time of transition rife with questions
After ten years in the presidency
the FMLN leaves behind quite serious debts
for a party that calls itself revolutionary.
What will the new government bring?
Its priority is a full fiscal overhaul.
Events surrounding the transition
foretell months of confrontation between
the executive and legislative branches,
even greater than when ARENA
or the FMLN were in opposition.
Now, both parties sit in opposition to Bukele.... continuar...

Reflections after decades of solidarity work
Sally O’Neill survived Central America’s violence,
death squads and earthquakes, as well as cancer…
and died at 68 this Abril 7 .in a tragic accident
on a rainy, foggy Guatemalan highway.
For 37 years she worked for Trocaire,
a Catholic Church development agency in Ireland.
We got to know her during the 1980s and 90s,
when she was directing its work in Central America,
years of civil wars and difficult transitions towards peace.
We will never forget her joy, energy and commitment.
She spoke to envío 15 years ago about the history
and hallenges of North-South cooperation.
In her memory, we reproduce parts of that still-valid talk,
in which she also shared part of her own history.... continuar...

The Left’s human sacrifices and its war on peoples
The Left has sacrificed human beings
in pursuit of its grand ideas throughout its history,
This has now also happened in Nicaragua:
Ortega’s regime killed, tortured, captured and condemned
to “defend the revolution” and deal with a “conspiracy.”
Why does the Left consider dissent to be treason?
Why has the European Left been so dazzled
by Latin American revolutionary rhetoric
while failing to critique its predatory extractivism
that has declared war on the region’s peoples?... continuar...
