Very rarely have I copied exactly what I read in one article, but this is surprisingly good and realistic ... I can not add anything ... so I leave.
Perez Baltodano: social willingness to accept abuses
governing dictatorship can not be improvised
* FSLN lost her virginity, and that is not recovered, today only bastard children of those struggles
* With Ortega to the head, says writer and analyst, have dismantled a fragile institutional
* This willingness to submit, is the legacy of the Somoza dictatorship, and Daniel Ortega has created its own authoritarian system
I do not think, as others think, that we are moving towards a dictatorship. The dictatorship already exists. Proof of this is the ability that has shown the government of Daniel Ortega to dismantle or ignore any legal or institutional constraints that limit their ambitions. Another test is the barbaric resignation with the Nicaraguans have tolerated the abuses of this government.

. These groups have helped to perpetuate the anti-Sandinista Sandinista conflict that still defines and limits the country's political life. This contradiction must be overcome because it feeds the power of Ortega and German. The Sandinistas and the anti-Sandinista also be overcome because they are incapable of responding to the needs of the country.
Where is the Sandinistas to fight three political trends in Nicaragua?
None of this should affect our critical appreciation of Sandino. A Sandino must appreciate and admire him for what he stands for and represents.
The Sandinistas triumphed in 1979 also should be assessed critically. The FSLN tumbled to a tyrant. And that deserves recognition. But then built a dictatorship, destroyed the economy, his arrogance led to the criminal aggression of the United States, and betrayed its own principles with the "piñata" and its disregard for the rights of others. Worse yet, the Sandinistas came to power in 1979 gave birth to Daniel Ortega, because that made this match were not able to report - when there was time to do so -, ambitions and aberrations of which we are now misrule. By contrast, elevated him, protected him and flattered.
The Rescue of the Sandinista movement, then, can not assume that what we have to do is return to a kind of virginal Sandinistas, because the FSLN are prostituted and virginity is not recovered. Of prostitution from the Sandinistas in the 1980 policy is emerging that bastard called Daniel Ortega.
What about MRS? They talk of renewing the Sandinista ...
The MRS has ignored his own name. Renew the Sandinistas involved, among other things, develop a critique of Marxism that served as theoretical support for the revolution. None of this has made the MRS, a party that is defined by the faces of those who run it. What
Montealegre's liberalism? Montealegre
is not a liberal, is a neoliberal intuitive because it does not even have the ability to explain how your neoliberalism can meet the needs of a society like Nicaragua. This is unforgivable because Latin America has been a hemorrhaging of experiences and ideas that contradict the political instincts of Montealegre.
seem, then, the true role of opposition have been left to civil society organizations ...
In a system of electoral democracy, the only opposition that counts is the party. The so-called civil society can raise awareness, educate, raise awareness. But no one votes for an NGO. The
civil society also can not develop the classical task of the parties, that is to add social demands within a political-policy vision of society. It is up to the games.
In this sense they are wrong who think that parties and political ideologies that feed the parties are a thing of the past. Those who say these things mechanically repeat the predicates of "non-conflictual view of politics" that have spread so successfully international and much of the cooperation are precisely those who materially support the so-called civil society.
What alternative is, then? Is the struggle on the streets? What will you find out the internal situation in Nicaragua? Eduardo Montealegre has offered
stones against stones. I tell you if this will be the way it is going to solve the country's future, avoid the anguish and crowns from now Daniel Ortega. "You chickening Montealegre you imagine the head with a cast chavalo Schick? And if this happens, do you a hard time guessing who will win this fight? Is the neighborhood kid throwing stones and mortar to Montealegre, and returning it corbatazos?
But back to your question about the choices we have. There are no easy ways out of our crisis. No porque hemos perdido tres décadas que tendrían que haber sido usadas para aprender de la experiencia del somocismo, y de las posibilidades y limitaciones que se abrieron en 1979 y en 1990. Lo que hicieron los gobiernos de los últimos 30 años fue demonizar la experiencia de la revolución, sin entender que lo que hacían era ignorar que, dentro de todo el desastre de los 80, y por encima de la corrupción y la incapacidad de los que dirigieron el experimento revolucionario, 1979 mostró las heridas, pero también las posibilidades históricas de una sociedad que desesperadamente necesita de una visión política que integre sus variadas y hasta contradictorias aspiraciones y necesidades.
El FSLN demonizó a their opponents. Today demonize a "mob" and Daniel Ortega returns the favor because he wants to keep this confrontation.
One of the most harmful consequences of this polarization has been the loss of universal ethical foundations to create a horizon of common sense for Nicaraguans. Piñateros thieves and good and bad, depending on whom we associate. In other words, we have our good and our bad, but lack a sense of right and wrong. Without this abstract sense of right and wrong, the rule of law and the so-called rule of law are simply two impossibilities. How
an end to all this? We can start
recognizing the lies they have woven to avoid questioning about the reasons for our misery. Help someone to try to hopefully unleash a tsunami of honesty to clean the rot in our country.
would help, for example, recognize the rich social sin of indifference. It would help those who took their service to the revolution, promised not to continue preaching sacrifice and honesty, unless you return the farms, beach houses and everything that had to be made in medicine and desks for the poor.
help if all we recognized our social failures, the action and omission.
Is unrealistic to think that something like this could happen?
truth is that if it is not possible, nothing is. Imagine what would happen if a Jaime Wheelock stop writing cookbooks (for which you can eat in Nicaragua) and gives us an honest analysis of the reasons why 50 000 Nicaraguans were killed in the 80's.
Imagine the impact it could have a world to listen to Antonio Lacayo Jarquín or speak with humility of its limitations compared to the magnitude of our misery.
Imagine the impact it could have listen to Bishop Brennan to recognize the faults of his church and ask forgiveness for the sins of their social organization.
not think I'm asking the impossible: I'm not thinking about the possibility that the Cardinal or Jerez back what is not theirs. I'm hoping that Francisco Rosales of this country recover shame. I speak of things they can still do those who still have something to offer to Nicaragua.
