US warns Nicaraguans against "coup"
What the thug named Roger Noriega (any relation to Manuel Noriega who used to be a CIA drug connection when Papa Bush was CIA director and eventually Vice President?) referred to as a "coup" is a legal process called impeachment.
"President Bolanos - who took office in 2002 after a landslide victory over Sandinista leader and former President Daniel Ortega - has said he will view any attempt to impeach him as a coup. "
How does it feel to know that a US official (assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere) gets his talking points from a corrupt third world scoundrel? The current Nicaraguan president, so corrupt and disloyal to his party that they joined forces with the hated Sandinistas to impeach the crook, has the full support of the American President and his minions in the Organization of American States (OAS.) The really disgraceful aspect of this affair is the anti-democratic interference in the internal politics of a sovereign state. Does anybody remember the bloody murder that Tom DeLay and his ilk were screaming when Al Gore was caught accepting money from foreigners for the Clinton/Gore reelection campaign? What makes it OK for the CIA to have contributed millions of dollars of our tax money to help Violeta Chamorro defeat Daniel Ortega?
"Mr Noriega said some people were putting 'the personal interests of a couple of leaders ahead of the national interest'. "
How is it in the national interest of Nicaragua for the public patrimony to be handed over to private interests?
"President Enrique Bolanos - who is locked in a power struggle with the Sandinistas - said on Monday that he would ask congress to approve rate increases.
He also wants congress to allow him to hand over $30m to private energy firms."
The Sandinistas, on the other hand have worked out a deal with kindred spirit Hugo Chavez of Venezuela to buy fuel at a 40% discount.
Incidentally, Democracy Now aired an excellent interview with Mr. Chavez the past couple days; it's available at their website.
