2. The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity, confirms to the Nicaraguans Families, that this situation of criminal violence that Opposition political groups have generated with Specific Political Agendas, as they activate a criminal format to terrorize Families, constitutes a conspiracy that violates the Constitution of the Republic and intends to continue destroying the Safety and Life of the Nicaraguan families.

5. The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity, rejects and condemns all defamatory campaigns, all the slander, and denounces this criminal conspiracy which through intimidation, fear, threats and terror has tried to deliver the Country in the hands of organized crime, in order to pressure the different Sectors according to their own Agenda, while destroying in the process the Image of Nicaragua in the World, as they have tried to destroy Life and the Ability of our Nicaraguan Families to coexist in Christian Love.

7. The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity will maintain the permanent denounce of this abject criminality, and again categorically rejects any accusation without foundation or substance.

In Nicaragua, there are no attack forces or paramilitary groups affiliated with the Government, therefore we cannot accept that they try to accuse us of the painful and tragic events that we have not provoked, that we will never provoke, and that on the basis of unsubstantiated accusations, they intended to restrict the application of the Constitutional Duty of the Public Order Forces to protect the Families.
9. From all Institutions of the Nicaraguan State we are committed to continue the Investigation of all the crimes and violent actions, to strengthen Justice, Security and the recovery of the Good Life that in Faith and Family Nicaraguans have enjoyed, for which we praise God every day.
