Arturo Cruz is one of the latest aspirants to the presidency in Nicaragua. A man who knows knowing nothing about everyday Nicaragua and has zero contact with our people’s reality, claims, from Washington, where he lives most of the time, the right to dispute power with Daniel Ortega.
Having never ventured into a barrio, nor ever having dealt in practice with Nicaragua's huge problems, without having a political party or even roots in our country - nobody in Nicaragua knows who he is! Only the quisling elites know him.
Listen to him carefully. Listen and watch the accompanying audio video. He could hardly be more disgusting, craven and servile. Like all the other representatives of the rancid conservative oligarchy, he lives and acts always in the interests of the United States.
He expresses himself clearly as a Yankee spokesperson, with no shame or modesty, using imperialist language just like that of Marco Rubio or Ileana Ros-Lehtinen a couple of years ago, when they were threatening us with all sorts of measures unless we handed over the government, on a silver platter, to their mercenary hacks.
Back then, the gringos were not worried at all about their barbarian gangs seizing power by force instead of doing so via free and transparent elections, like the ones we will hold in November of this year!
The aspiring US pro-consul for Nicaragua has been extremely active in Washington, organizing and promoting further aggression against Nicaragua, and now he arrogantly arrives to tell us of his achievements and to confirm his thinking and behavior as a mercenary of the gringos observing that his owners "have wanted to open up space for talks, for dialogue and exchange... including – with regard to Venezuela but also indirectly to Nicaragua - sanctions in exchange for electoral openness". As naturally as you please, he excuses US threats and extortion as if it were dialogue and conversation.
What a tragedy for Nicaragua to be forever under the eagle eye of the United States, which, for over two hundred years has tried to subjugate us and impose their mercenaries as Presidents. In years gone by it was William Walker and the Somozas and at other times, like now, sinister characters like Cruz, Chamorro or Maradiaga who neither hide nor disguise their role as agents of imperialism. Truly, they are the "swamp geese" of whom General Sandino spoke.
