Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz met with Nicaragua opposition leader Juan Sebastian Chamorro of the Alianza Civica group during his July 13 visit to Miami. The two met at the Doral Government Center along with Doral Mayor Juan Bermudez and Councilwoman Claudia Mariaca.

Nicaragua has been beset by violent oppression carried out by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. Many demonstrators have been killed and hundreds wounded in street protests in Nicaragua’s capital Managua since the middle of April.

“I was pleased to let Mr. Chamorro know that the Miami-Dade community is supportive of the Nicaraguan community’s democratic aspirations and categorically condemns the Ortega regime,” said Commissioner Diaz, whose district includes Sweetwater, which is home to the largest concentration of Nicaraguans and Nicaraguan Americans in the United States and is known as “Little Managua.”

Last month, Commissioner Diaz sponsored a resolution condemning the Nicaraguan government for using violence and intimidation to suppress political opposition.

  1. The American people are fed up with our politicians meddling in other countries domestic affairs and supporting terrorist groups who seek to overthrow democratically elected governments and establish fascist dictatorships sponsored and supported by the US government and Big Business. America must stop taking sides in other countries politics. America has no business aiding foreign governments or aiding opposition parties against the political faction currently in power. America must respect the national sovereignty and independence of foreign nations.
