"What happened in Nicaragua was a coup attempt"
Dr. Arnold matlin, September 5th 2018
Remarks during a debate on Nicaragua held by the Rochester Committee on Latin America
Tonight the debate is about the recent violence in Nicaragua. I’ll make this point at the beginning: What happened in Nicaragua was a coup attempt. The coup attempt was carefully planned by the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy and the Nicaraguan right wing. Their goal was to overthrow the legal government of Nicaragua, and they failed.
