Dublin - Event Notice
Thursday January 01 1970

Nicaragua - elections & politics

category dublin | anti-capitalism | event notice author Monday January 08, 2007 21:18author by redjade Report this post to the editors

Daniel Ortega's winning of the presidency of Nicaragua in November 2006 looks like a victory for the left, but is, in fact, a victory for realpolitik at its worst.

Thursday Night Talk at 7. 30pm Thursday 11th January
at LASC (5 Merrion Row, D2)

NICARAGUA: ELECTIONS AND POLITICS
Speakers: Molly O'Duffy and Harry Owens


Ortega up to now, through a pact with the corrupt right-wing former president and his party, has had control over many arms of government, particularly the electoral power and the judicial system. He has used them to manipulate justice and the electoral law in such a way that he was returned as president with only 38% of the votes of those who participated in the election. In the 16 years since he lost the presidency he has destroyed democracy in the party, and used his extensive power within the state to make gains for himself and his elite coterie, while achieving nothing for the poor, in whose name he purports to seek power.

Reflections will also be made on the tactics of the Right and of the U.S, on the role of the E.U. and the Nicaragua electorate.

Everybody is very welcome.

The Latin America Solidarity Centre (LASC) is an initiative for Development Education, Cultural Promotion and Campaigning Solidarity, linking Ireland and Latin America.
