Havana, August 14 (RHC)-- Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega highlighted the resistance of the Cuban Revolution against imperial onslaught and mentioned other similar processes such as Nicaragua and Venezuela.

During a speech last night on the 44th anniversary of the Foundation of the Naval Forces of the Nicaraguan Army, the president recalled that the Caribbean island's revolution moved all of Latin America.

In his speech, in which he recalled the 98th anniversary of the birth of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro and the 94th of Tomás Borge, Ortega recalled that in 1979, the Popular Sandinista Revolution appeared on the horizon just 20 years after the Cuban Revolution,

"Revolutions that totally broke the structures of the powers that had been nestled here, those that imposed the [Monroe] doctrine that America is only for the Americans, that is, America for the Yankees," he said.

From the Olof Palme Convention Center, the Sandinista leader commented that years later, the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela headed by Commander Hugo Chávez arrived.

The Nicaraguan leader highlighted the heroism of the people of that South American nation and Chávez, who practiced the Christian principle of loving one's neighbor as himself.

The Head of State referred to the current situation in Venezuela after the recent elections held in the South American nation and reiterated that Nicolás Maduro is the president elected by the people with their votes.

"They have now installed a blow where everything that is the technological modernity that should serve for good and not for evil are manipulated," Ortega said when referring to the Venezuelan opposition and fascist groups that tried to destabilize that country.   (Source: Latin Press)
