Johannes Wilm 3 Abstract Thirty years after redefining the political landscape of Nicaragua, Sandinismo is both a unifying discourse and one driven by different interpretations by adherents. This thesis examines the complex legacy of Sandinismo by focusing on the still widely acclaimed notion of Sandinismo as an idiom of popular participation. A central point is the current unity of the movement, as it is perceived by Sandinistas, depends on a limited number of common reference points over the last 100 years of Nicaraguan history, which are interpreted very differently Sandinistas and other groups, but which always emphasise the part Nicaraguans play in international relations and the overall importance of popular mass participation in Nicaraguan politics, rather than agreement on current, day-to-day politics.

Phil Cournoyer ——————————————————————————————————— Socialist Voice #131, November 1, 2006 The Russian Revolution and National Freedom How the early Soviet government led the struggle for liberation of Russia’s oppressed peoples By John Riddell co-editor, Socialist Voice. When Bolivian President Evo Morales formally opened his country’s Constituent Assembly on August 6, 2006, he highlighted the aspirations of Bolivia’s indigenous majority as the central challenge before the gathering. The convening of the Assembly, he said, represented a “historic moment to refound our dearly beloved homeland Bolivia.” When Bolivia was created, in 1825- 26, “the originary indigenous movements” who had fought for independence “were excluded,” and subsequently were discriminated against and looked down upon. But the “great day has arrived today … for the originary indigenous peoples.” (http://boliviarising.blogspot.com/, Aug. 14, 2006) During the preceding weeks, indigenous organizations had proposed sweeping measures to assure their rights, including guarantees for their languages, autonomy for indigenous regions, and respect for indigenous culture and political traditions. This movement extends far beyond Bolivia. Massive struggles based on indigenous peoples have shaken Ecuador and Peru, and the reverberations are felt across the Western Hemisphere. Measures to empower indigenous minorities are among the most prestigious achievements of the Bolivarian movement in Venezuela. At first glance, these indigenous struggles bear characteristic features of national movements, aimed at combating oppression, securing control of national communities, and protecting national culture.

  • NICARAGUA: in DEFENSE of NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY and the RULE of LAW 13Th June 2021
    Gobierno de Reconciliación y Unidad Nacional Unida Nicaragua Triunfa NICARAGUA: IN DEFENSE OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND THE RULE OF LAW 13th June 2021 I. A LEGAL FRAMEWORK THAT ENSURES DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW An unprecedented and relentless attack is unfolding against the People and Government of Nicaragua, driven by false narratives advanced by rightwing and U.S. financed media outlets and “opposition figures.” In the light of evidence that has been presented against certain individuals and organizations, related to the crimes of money laundering, fraud, treason and 2 seditious conspiracy, the Office of the Nicaragua Attorney General began an investigation into the dealings of Cristiana Chamorro and her “Fundación Violeta Barrios de Chammorro for Reconciliation and Democracy (FVBCH),” that received tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars through USAID, NED, IRI and other U.S. government agencies, that were then transferred through corporate and personal accounts to Chamorro family members, including her brother Carlos Fernando Chammorro (CINCO, Confidencial) and her uncle Jaime Chamorro Cardenal (La Prensa); as well as to other affiliated organizations such as, Channel 10, Channel 11, Channel 12, and Vos TV, Radio Corporación and Radio Show Café con Voz; as well as online outlets 100% Noticias, 3 Artículo 66, Nicaragua Investiga, Nicaragua Actual, BacanalNica, and Despacho 505. The purpose of the Attorney General´s investigation therefore, is to determine, whether Cristiana Chammorro and her FVBCH have committed any crimes as related to Law No. 1040, that requires organizations to report in detail any funding they receive from abroad and Law No. 1055, that protects the Nicaraguan People against the crimes of treason and seditious conspiracy.

  • 2006 Nicaraguan Elections and the US Government Role
    2006 Nicaraguan Elections and the US Government Role Report of the Nicaragua Network Delegation to investigate US intervention in the Nicaraguan elections of November 2006 Introduction The Nicaragua Network sent a delegation of academics and representatives of human rights and solidarity groups to Nicaragua June 17-24, 2006 to investigate the role of the US government in Nicaragua’s presidential election scheduled for November 5, 2006. The Nicara- gua Network is a national network of local committees which has worked for 27 years to change US government policy toward Nicaragua. In all we held formal meetings with 30 people representing the full spectrum of Nicaragua’s politics. For a list of delegates and a list of those with whom we met in Nicaragua see Appen- dices 1 and 2. One week after the delegation returned to the US, one of the four principal presidential candidates, Herty Lewites, died of a heart attack. While domestically his death had profound consequences, it had no effect on the findings of our delegation. The delegation had a narrow mission to investigate the US government role in the Nicaraguan election. The delegates encompassed a range of opinion about the appropriateness of US government involvement in Nicaragua’s election ranging from no role is appropriate given the US government’s history of invasions, occupations, and political/economic domination of Nicaragua, to a belief that pro- viding nonpartisan technical support and training is an appropriate way to support the strength- ening of democratic institutions. While individual delegates may or may not have had preferences for particular candidates or parties in the election, the delega- tion maintained strict neutrality and the Nicaragua Network, while believing that Nicaraguans would likely be better off if one of the parties of the Left were to win, has not endorsed nor ex- pressed a preference for any candi- date or party in the 2006 election.

The Nicaraguan municipal elections of 2008 marked the sixth round of contested elections that Nicaragua has ever witnessed in its brief democratic history.

The Nicaragua Network is a national network of local committees which has worked for 32 years to change US government policy toward Nicaragua. The delegation had a total of 20 meetings with officials from the US embassy, Nicaraguan government officials, three political parties and alliances of parties running presidential candidates, seven U.S. and Nicaraguan non-governmental organizations that have received funding from the United States government, along with other members of Nicaraguan civil society. The delegation was organized because of concern that the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and other organs of the US government are working in Nicaragua and around the world to promote a vision of democracy favorable to US transnational corporations that represents neither democracy nor the best interests of the majority of citizens of the US or Nicaragua.
