Guaidó maintained that the Nicaraguan president sought control of the Electoral Tribunal and the voting records.
The leader of the Venezuelan opposition Juan Guaidó denounced this Sunday that the president of Nicaragua and candidate for re-election, Daniel Ortega, seeks to perpetuate himself in power with elections “tailored” to which he described as “fraud.”
“Ortega’s intention to achieve an election tailored to him is evident, a fraud,” the former deputy said in a statement.
Guaidó maintained that the Nicaraguan president sought control of the Electoral Tribunal and voting records, the exclusion of opposition political parties, the imprisonment of opposition candidates, “the absence of fundamental rights and freedoms and the existence of more than 30 political prisoners from various sectors of society. “
“All of this is a convincing demonstration of the totalitarian nature of the Ortega regime,” he added.
The political leader pointed out that in Nicaragua “there is no” principle of separation of powers, because those who preside over the different instances are supporters of the Ortega government.
“What brings as a consequence that the principle of autonomy, counterweight and independence that allows an adequate distribution of power does not work, so that ultimately this is concentrated in the Executive, which manages it at will,” he added.
Guaidó expressed his solidarity with the citizens of Nicaragua and asked the international community to ignore these elections and the authorities that are elected this Sunday.
“Since otherwise, it would be to become accomplices of a totalitarian dictator and his henchmen,” he said.
“Finally, our message to the Nicaraguan brothers: It is time not to lose heart in our libertarian struggle and that the movements that fight for democracy and freedom in Venezuela and Nicaragua, as well as in other parts of the world, unite and coordinate in against totalitarianisms ”, he expressed.
More than 4.4 million Nicaraguans are summoned to vote this Sunday with the aim of electing the president and vice president of Nicaragua, 90 deputies before the National Assembly and 20 representatives before the Central American Parliament.
The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) is the favorite to win an election that opponents and human rights defenders have described as “fraudulent”, as well as the Organization of American States (OAS), the European Union, and various countries, have shown their reservations about the legitimacy of the results.
If he achieves his goal in the elections, Ortega, who will turn 76 next day 11, the last 42 with an almost absolute dominance of Nicaraguan politics, would reach his fourth consecutive term and sixth in total if the first two that allowed him are included. govern between 1979 and 1990. (I)
