According to the Nicaraguan president, the U.S. and Europe did not stop being “colonialists, they remain neo-colonialists.” ” And the Soviet Union, logically led by Russia, as a power, had not come here to take Nicaragua’s wealth, but came here to shake hands with the people,” and stressed that this is the big difference.

On the other hand, Ortega denounced that the Western countries decide every day to put more weapons to keep bombing Palestine and the rulers of Israel say every day that the State of Palestine disappears.
The president said that he “cannot speak ill” of the people of Israel and the US that the criminals are the ones who are governing those countries, said the president of Nicaragua.
At the end of his speech, President Ortega said that in his country they have managed to recover peace, “this is a victory for the people who want and defend peace, if we want it for Nicaragua, we want it for the world”.
