Nicaragua: A 40 years of revolution, situation and strategic challenges
The latest release of political prisoners the 11 of June, It was a triumph of the pressure of the Nicaraguan people.
Both outside and within the territory. family, friends, compañeres fighting neighbors and went massively into the streets to welcome their brothers and sisters. That postcard released prisoners is proof that the dictatorship did not win and that there are reserves in the new generation of activists. A 40 Years Revolution 1979, the challenges for the people nica.
Despite constant police and paramilitary repression, Brandon Lovo and Glen Slate led a march on the Caribbean coast to hug Jeffrey "El Nene"; Yubrark Suazo before hosting the entire city of Masaya thanked dancing for hours to the sound of the marimba. Amaya Coppens, Bayron Road, Nahiroby Olivas, Dilon, Lucia, Miguel, Olesia and all other released from prison that day could laugh and hug their loved ones.
To achieve this victory, as well, efforts were central to the diaspora and refugees from all parts perform. The permanent campaign we held in the past year, Nicaraguan exiles students, MST, Network anticapitalist and now the Socialist International League, also he bores fruit.
Thanks to the tireless work to denounce the crimes of the dictatorship Ortega-Murillo, mobilize to Nicaragua's embassy in Argentina to demand the release of every prisoner partner for fighting, conversatorios, college visits; and honest commitment of each militant with the Nicaraguan cause; Today we can see the achievements of the internationalist work.
Nevertheless, We still have more than 89 people who are kidnapped by the dictatorship; and neither the Civic Alliance, nor the Apostolic Nuncio of the Pope, and neither Rosadilla as a delegate of the OAS itself take charge. It is therefore important to continue taking the fight, because we still have many outstanding tasks to fully release all political prisoners still held hostage by the dictatorship and return to the path of all the demands of the Nicaraguan people.
The game of entrepreneurship: demobilize and stay with the mandate
The policy of "dialogue" diverted the popular rebellion and saved his existence to orteguismo in 2018. Since then, and after the first confusion, It is clear in much of the active youth, the dialogue of capitalist domes and clergy, that coexisted and shared business with the regime for years, thats false. Those who have to review and decide are the majority, with whom we have never ruled, to return the role of social movements and grassroots organizations; to be the working population who define their future.
Must be denounced as self-appointed "representatives" in the Civic Alliance for Justice and Democracy legitimizes the political game imposed by the regime: searching for the lion's share in "the new Nicaragua", in orteguismo without Ortega, but with his accomplices, entrepreneurship.
And the Civic Alliance has become the vehicle of the capitalists to the presidential chair; We denounced as during the last year have not wanted to declare tax / tax disobedience and have continued to pay taxes to the regime. tax contributions that feed the machinery of repression and state terrorism. Civic Alliance, church (as an institution) and the international community want to divert the accumulated social energy to the electoral field. They call us to rely on entrepreneurship as "democratic" political option to ultimately structurally nothing changes in our country.
Resume mobilization, promote an alternative exit
We are convinced that Nicaragua was the self-summoned and mobilized without patterns, or opportunists who managed to destabilize the regime. But only Nicaragua organized start as root. We must build organization to encourage and guide social mobilization, regain power on the streets. An organization that does not remain half to denounce the treacherous leaderships, and break with the sectoral atomization to return to be a single fist hitting at the same time, as in April 2018.
Nevertheless, the enemies of the social majority, Workers, youth and farmers are not only in government. Those are, in any case, the main and immediate. But opposition to orteguismo "entrepreneurial", is no alternative, but trap and farce. Because, our proposal generation with which we share the dream of a revolutionary Nicaragua for the underdog, not for the capitalists and repressors, It is that it takes discuss our own roadmap:
Real University Autonomy, without corporate intervention and student government, teachers and workers.
Secular state. Separation of Church and State.
Freedom to all political prisoners. Trial and punishment of the oppressors and murderers of the regime. Opening files. Dismantling the apparatus of repression.
Decriminalization of therapeutic abortion.
Universal education, quality at all levels.
Public health services for all.
State public services, under social control.
Full employment and with a minimum wage equal to the cost of the basic food basket.
Land for those who work it and not for corporations, or transnational, or mining.
No privileges for politicians / public officials, with equal pay any skilled worker; with revocatory mandate and are forced by their families to use public system (of Education, Health, transport), because if you want to rule us live as.
Breaking with the IMF to have independence and real sovereignty to execute our self-determination. And audit all foreign debt incurred by the Nicaraguan domes.
Down with the Ortega dictatorship- Murillo.
For a free Constituent Assembly, sovereign and democratic, to reorganize the country on new economic foundations, other social and political model.
We have to go around. Ortega-Murillo is, are entrepreneurs 'opponents', It is the clergy, international organizations. Definitely: It is the whole system and its gears. Nothing old represents us. We do not want to maintain or reform the same that brought us today. What does not work, away. Put up a political tool without personalismos, that transcends the electoral, although Batalle in all fields. It is deeply anticapitalist and internationalist. In that way we / as MST militants in Nicaragua and the International Socialist League.
