Frente Amplio por la Democracia Party of Nicaragua Calls on the Organization of American States to Implement the Democratic Charter

The opposition demands that Almagro make public the report on the electoral situation in Nicaragua that has been kept secret. 

According to Confidencial Magazine of Nicaragua, the Nicaraguan political party “Frente Amplio por la Democracia” (FAD) requested, by means of a letter sent to Luis Almagro, the General Secretary of the Organization of American States (OAS), the publication of that agency’s report on the electoral situation in Nicaragua.

“Based on Article 4 of the Democratic Charter, in reference to governmental activities, and for the sake of the transparency that should direct the actions of the OAS, we request the publication of the report,” the FAD letter declared. The letter was signed by the majority of the FAD members who were present at a meeting the morning of Saturday, February 25 in the capital city of Managua.

Last January 20, the OAS and the government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega issued a comunicado, offered as an “advance in the dialogue table,” but which lacked mention of systematic violations of democratic principles by the Ortega regime.

As the article says, the FAD letter reaffirms its position that it will not turn its back on the more than 70% of Nicaraguans who rejected the “electoral farce” of November 2016.
