November 22nd 2024
A very good afternoon, Compañer@s, and a very good afternoon, Beloved Families of our Forever Blessed, Strong, Great, Nicaragua... Always Sovereign, Always Dignified, Always Combative, Always Loving and Always full of Faith!
Today is a historic Day. Our People are claiming tOur Right to have a Magna Carta that represents them and gives Prominence and Power, to Families, Men, Women, Young People, over all aspects of Life in Society, guaranteeing the Fundamental Rights of us all. Nicaragua's Citizens, who honor and are proud that we are building the Future free of Poverty.
We have seen in each of the Chapters of that Historic Document, which is now in the National Assembly, not only the vindication of the Heroes, Martyrs, Fighters, Combatants, who deserve and have always deserved a place in history and in the Glory of our Proud Nicaraguan Identity.
We have also seen the vindication of so much Holy Blood, which our People have offered up so that today we can live in Peace and Security, which no one can dare to violate; in Sovereignty, Dignity and National Pride, which no one can undo and which characterizes us as our profound Nicaraguan Truth, by the Grace of God!
We have seen justice... We have cried out for justice... We have made progress in justice... Justice, Truth, establishing the Ways of Struggle against that ignominious Poverty imposed on us by the Imperialists and their flunkies, their underlings, their shameless servants, who do not belong to this Blessed Race that knows very well, because we do know, about Struggles and Honor.
In Glorious Paths of Christianity, Socialism and Solidarity, our Revolution of Love and Peace is going Onward, and we know that Always Further On is the Rallying Cry, the Emblem, the Banner, the Flag. They are Banners that distinguish us for that growing ability to identify the transcendent moments, to move onward from the deserved Victories of Nicaragua's Courage, Nicaragua's Valor and Nobility, and Nicaraguan Loyalty that ensures our Patrimony as a People of God. Loyalty proof against every test!
A Blessed Day, A Blessed Time, Blessed History, Blessed, Blessed, A Thousand Times Blessed Nicaragua's People, a People of God!
A Free Nation, We Go Onward as a Free Nation, striving against Poverty, fighting Poverty, combating Poverty...! We are sure that this Spiritual and Profound Precept of a Free Nation, Nationhood And Freedom, Nationhood in Freedom, Sovereignty, National Decorum, the Always Further On, Miraculous and Impressive, is the essential characteristic and the fundamental trait of a People Full of Light, one that Never Sells Out, Nor Surrenders, Ever!
All together we say :
Long live our General of Free Men and Women, Augusto Sandino...!
Long live the People of Universal and Infinite Darío...!
Long live the Heroes and Martyrs of this Nation that resonates with its Rhythms, Melodies and Symphonies of Liberation and the Supreme Definition of Union, Fraternity, Hope, Joy, Solidarity, Future...!
Long live the Undefeated Strength of the Nicaraguan People, as together we create the Future...!
Long live Brother and Sisterhood, Unity, Peace...!
Long live the Revolution...!
Long Live Daniel...!
We give thanks to God, and as always, as ever, from this deeply grateful Heart of ours... Grateful to our Heroes, to our Martyrs, to their Families, and to all this Wonderful, Extraordinary, Always Dignified and Free People of which we are proudly part.
We overcome, Brothers and Sisters, and we will overcome Poverty...! That is the main adversary of Peace, of Security, and it is the adversary that we have been defeating with so much Force of Hope, so much Force of Joy, so much Force of Justice, so much Force of True Truths.
