During the speech given, on the 45th anniversary of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in the Central American country, President Ortega highlighted the government’s achievements in different sectors, such as the fight against illiteracy and agrarian reform.
In relation to the agrarian reform, he added that “It was fair to give land to the peasants, and for this we had to recover the land that had been stolen from society, the people, the peasants.”
According to the Nicaraguan president, the U.S. and Europe did not stop being “colonialists, they remain neo-colonialists.” ” And the Soviet Union, logically led by Russia, as a power, had not come here to take Nicaragua’s wealth, but came here to shake hands with the people,” and stressed that this is the big difference.
President Ortega recalled that the United States and its imperialist allies organized a war against the revolution that had triumphed 45 years ago.
Daniel Ortega commented that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should be proposed to international organizations, the powers should disappear, in order to have greater global security.
He also expressed that most European governments, and that they are strengthening fascism and fueling a war that is aimed at trying to achieve “what Napoleon did not achieve, what Hitler did not achieve”, he stressed by reiterating his support for Russia.
On the other hand, Ortega denounced that the Western countries decide every day to put more weapons to keep bombing Palestine and the rulers of Israel say every day that the State of Palestine disappears.
The president said that he “cannot speak ill” of the people of Israel and the US that the criminals are the ones who are governing those countries, said the president of Nicaragua.
At the end of his speech, President Ortega said that in his country they have managed to recover peace, “this is a victory for the people who want and defend peace, if we want it for Nicaragua, we want it for the world”.
