The Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega, called the Chilean president, Gabriel Boric, a “pinochetito”, and called his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, a “traitor”, in response to the criticism made by the two South American heads of state about the situation. of the opponents in Nicaragua.
In a speech for the 44th anniversary of the constitution of the Nicaraguan National Police, Ortega pointed out that Boric had come to power with support from the left, but that he then abandoned his promise to prosecute those responsible for the repression of thousands. of young Chileans in the social outbreak of October 2019. “Those crimes that you cannot cover, you cannot cover Boric, you are a pinochetito,” said the Nicaraguan.
He also indicated that “the Chilean police are not like the Nicaraguan Police. “They are formed by mass murder, formed to murder the people.” The reaction of the Chilean president was immediate, as the Executive instructed the Foreign Ministry to present a note of diplomatic protest to the Nicaraguan authorities, an act that was reaffirmed this Wednesday by the head of State. “The dictator Ortega insulted the institution of the Carabineros of Chile. I want the police to know that I immediately instructed our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alberto van Klaveren, to present a diplomatic note of protest as appropriate in these instances, because the reputation of our institutions is defended nationally and internationally,” Boric emphasized.
Ortega also criticized his Colombian counterpart in his speech, accusing him of being a traitor. “There are those who remain firm throughout history, others walk one day and when conditions are adverse, then cowardice makes them renounce and become agents of the Yankee empire,” he exclaimed. “Petro said that he was anti-imperialist when he was with the guerrilla. And what are you waiting for, Petro, to remove the Yankee military bases from Colombia?” He questioned.
The origin of darts
Daniel Ortega’s statements against the Chilean president arose after he held the Government of Nicaragua responsible for having committed human rights violations and the repression of protests in 2018, as well as the exile of opposition leaders.
The accusations against Petro were because he compared the Ortega Government with the military dictatorship in Chile of Augusto Pinochet and expressed solidarity with the Nicaraguan poet Gioconda Belli, exiled after denouncing the confiscation of her residence in Managua. “What a paradox! Here, in Chile, I tour the homes of Chilean poets whose homes were raided and murdered by the dictatorship, and Ortega does the same as Pinochet,” Petro wrote on the social network commemoration events for the 50th anniversary of the coup d’état against Salvador Allende.
