ANDn Nicaragua “all human rights are violated in a scandalous manner.”
This was stated by former Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Norman Caldera, who traveled to Spain this Wednesday to learn about the initiatives being promoted from this country in matters of international justice. Caldera added that the country’s president, Daniel Ortega, “is not willing to dialogue” with those who ask for change.
“The only way out for Nicaragua is international justice,” said Caldera, who lives in exile in the United States and who, in an interview with EFE, clarified that the reason for his trip to Spain was not only to offer his point of view. seen at the Conference on International Crimes in which he is participating this Wednesday, but also “listening to Spanish lawyers who are looking for solutions to the suffering of six million Nicaraguans.”
Because, in his opinion, International law is an important weapon “to change the acceleration of forces and get Ortega willing to negotiate.”
Daniel Ortega is viciously repressing the people
Still, Caldera ruled out “the armed struggle because Nicaragua already suffered too much with the Sandinista revolution, which ended up being a big scam.”
It is necessary to look for peaceful solutions, which always happen with dialogue. But to dialogue, two parties are needed and Daniel Ortega refuses to dialogue.
For this reason, he thinks it is necessary to look for peaceful solutions, which “always happen with dialogue. But to dialogue, two parties are needed and Daniel Ortega refuses to dialogue.”
For this reason, Caldera sees a way out in international justice, which some countries have already undertaken, such as Argentina, where Judge Ariel Lijo opened a criminal investigation into President Ortega and the vice president of this country, Rosario María Murillo, to determine if they are responsible for Crimes against Humanity.

Ortega could be denounced before the International Criminal Court
After participating in the series of conferences on international crimes held at the headquarters of the General Council of Spanish Lawyers, in which the cases of Nicaragua and Venezuela were discussed, Imborda acknowledged to EFE that these two countries have different situations because Venezuela is a member of the International Criminal Court, but Nicaragua is not.
There is no political will, because even when Nicaraguans took to the streets and the Government repressed the protests, causing more than 300 deaths, the international reaction remained, unfortunately, in lamentation.
Regarding the pressure that the international community may exert on the Nicaraguan government, Caldera acknowledged feeling disappointed because, “despite Ortega’s many hostile actions and having insulted and expelled many ambassadors, the countries always limit themselves to regretting it, in a collection of letters with which we could build a wailing wall”.
“There is no political will,” he added, “because, even when Nicaraguans took to the streets and the Government repressed the protests, causing more than 300 deaths, the international reaction remained, unfortunately, in lamentation.”
