In an 81-minute speech overflowing with praise for Russia and China and repeatedly calling for the dissolution of the United Nations, Daniel Ortega, speaking in a tired voice, urged his followers to spy on their neighbors \u201cso there\u2019s no room left for the terrorists, the conspirators, the traitors, because they will know that as soon as they\u2019re discovered, they\u2019ll be captured and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The occasion was the 46th anniversary celebration of the Nicaraguan people\u2019s victory over the Somoza dictatorship. The setting was Plaza La Fe, on the shores of Lake Xolotlan in Managua, before an audience of approximately 34,000, including police, military personnel, members of the Sandinista Youth, and public sector employees. This time, no representatives of the other nominal branches of government were present\u2014no ministers, no legislators, no veteran combatants, no police or military chiefs. <\/p>\n\n

Standing alongside the co-presidential couple were international guests: various high-ranking substitutes from China, Russia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela, Algeria, Belarus, Vietnam, Myanmar, Burkina Faso, North Korea, Honduras, Ivory Coast, and Kuwait.<\/p>\n\n

Echoing the mantra repeated by his wife and co-president, Rosario Murillo, Ortega said, \u201cWe have peace, and that doesn\u2019t mean the enemy rests. The enemy is always conspiring\u2026 trying to cause bloodshed. Trying to bring pain to Nicaraguan families, because they think they can overthrow the revolution, because they count on the support of the imperialists of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we always have to stay focused on all our tasks: studying, preparing, working, and other activities, without neglecting revolutionary vigilance in neighborhoods and workplaces,\u201d thereby reviving the practice of citizen spying and denunciation that was common in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n

The speech was filled with Ortega\u2019s usual talking points, while avoiding any mention of national problems such as unemployment, the rising cost of living, the suppression of freedoms, public official corruption, or the reintegration of thousands of deportees returning from the United States. Instead, he spoke about General Augusto C. Sandino and Ruben Dar\u00edo, Andr\u00e9s Castro and General Jose Dolores Estrada, this time adding the arrow-wielding Matagalpa Indians, China and Russia and Hitler and Napoleon trying to invade Russia. Russia against Ukraine\u2019s \u201cNazi-fascists.\u201d NATO against Russia. Israel against Palestine. The .. and Israel against Iran, which, according to Ortega, only wants nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. <\/p>\n\n

Et cetera.<\/p>\n\n

Dismantle Nuclear Weapons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Ortega arrived at the plaza at 6:25 p.m., driving one of his flashy Mercedes Benz vehicles, escorted by half a dozen police vehicles and hundreds of officers running alongside. A crowd formed into 227 uniform blocks [North Korean style choreography] awaited him, cheering the moment he stepped out of the luxury car, chanting old slogans from the 1980s. <\/p>\n\n

As they approached the central stage, Ortega and Murillo greeted their guests, who waited for their turn to receive a handshake. At times, Murillo had to discreetly nudge him to move on when he lingered too long with someone. <\/p>\n\n

While commenting on the global geopolitical landscape\u2014including, though not explicitly, the criticisms of his government\u2014Ortega repeatedly questioned the role of the United Nations, asking what the organization actually does. He then recalled when Father Miguel D\u2019Escoto \u201cpresided over the United Nations\u201d (in reality, he presided over one session of the General Assembly), during which the now-deceased diplomat proposed a complete overhaul of the institution. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe powerful are united there [at the UN]. The nuclear powers are united. They join forces and don\u2019t want others to have nuclear capabilities. Ideally, they should all disappear, all nuclear weapons should be dismantled,\u201d said the dictator, expressing confidence that all nuclear-armed countries would support his vision for global disarmament.<\/p>\n\n

Praising the People\u2019s Republic of China and the Russian Federation, Ortega said both countries \u201cwant peace for the world. They promote aid and solidarity. They are noble nations. They are not powerful countries that use their power to oppress, crush, and enslave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEven with the world in such turmoil, powers like China and Russia, which are walking the path of peace,\u201d must be respected by \u201cthose powers that are sowing terrorism around the world.\u201d \u201cIn the end, peace must come\u2026 the United Nations must come to an end, and new united nations must be created to have tools that provide security for all countries,\u201d he demanded. <\/p>\n\n

Celebrating Peace\u2026 with Cannon Fire!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Peace\u2014that essential precondition for building anything lasting\u2014was marked in an unusual way this time: 21 cannon shots to celebrate peace!<\/p>\n\n

After more than an hour of a speech from Murillo and old and new testimonial songs, it was time to hear the international greetings, some in Russian and Mandarin, although one had been in English earlier.<\/p>\n\n

Then Ortega began to speak. It was 8:52 p.m., and his first words were, \u201cHere, we are all Daniel. From the youngest to the oldest\u2026 we are all Daniel.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t even think that in this stage of our history, there will be other Nicaraguans who won\u2019t have the same thinking, commitment, and principles we celebrate today\u2014you young people, me\u2014we\u2019ve inherited that principle and carry it in our hearts and conscience. It\u2019s the principle our General Sandino left in our soul when he told the Yankee: I neither surrender nor sell out\u2026 I neither sell out nor surrender,\u201d he corrected himself.<\/p>\n\n

Ortega shared his version of Napoleon\u2019s invasion of Russia, tried to analyze the causes of Central America\u2019s independence, and even expressed his youthful admiration for Mao Tse Tung. He explained that he touched on those topics because \u201cby looking to the past, we learn to defend ourselves, as we discover the great errors, the great betrayals committed during those periods.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Reviewing some of the gravest conflicts troubling humanity, Ortega again questioned the United Nations. \u201cThe United Nations is nothing more than an instrument of the imperialist countries, countries that want to dominate the world, even if humanity disappears, because they don\u2019t care\u2014they\u2019re out there bombing everywhere,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n

At another point, he asked, \u201cWhat has the United Nations done to stop the destruction of the Palestinian people? What does the United Nations do when US leaders carry out a ferocious persecution against Latin American migrants\u2014not only capturing them, but imprisoning them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

He reminded the audience that the United Nations was created after World War II \u201cto be a serious instrument to provide security to all nations, but every passing day brings more criminal acts\u2014many more we could mention\u2014committed by European and U.S. governments. The crimes are there in plain sight,\u201d and yet, he insisted again, the UN does nothing.<\/p>\n\n

At 10:13 p.m., Ortega kept his promise and fell silent. He had spoken for 81 minutes, covering all his favorite topics. His voice\u2014hoarse throughout the night\u2014finally went quiet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
