Situation in Nicaragua (debate)
Mr President, this is the fourth resolution that we have brought to this House in a year and a half to confirm the deterioration of the political and social situation in Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan people, besieged by poverty, brutal repression, the curtailment of their freedoms and the persecution of ecclesiastical representatives by the regime, are already worthy of a Nero or a Domitian. The dictatorial marriage of Ortega and Murillo – right, right, Mr Borrell – who are at the moment the great stars of political crime, has been sponsoring the systematic violation of human rights from the Sandinista power for years. Today, the United Nations classifies the actions of its regime as crimes against humanity. Well, now let's see: Where does the Sandinista regime come from? It comes from the help of the socialists and the help of Cuba. It has been Cuba that has created Nicaragua and it is the São Paulo Forum that supports Nicaragua and has ties with Russia, as does Cuba. Why is Mr. Borrell going to Cuba to guarantee Cuba that we will continue to give him millions? Millions for nothing, for violating human rights, just like Nicaragua, and now it is telling us that Nicaragua must be punished. Please, a little coherence, Mr. Borrell.
