Importance of the Revolutionary Victory in Nicaragua Remarked

Importance of the Revolutionary Victory in Nicaragua Remarked

Managua, Jul 19 (Prensa Latina) The victory by the people led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and the total defeat of Somoza's dictatorship, a day like today in 1979 meant a sort of second independence, Deputy Foreign Minister Orlando Gomez asserted.

In an interview with the news agency Prensa Latina, the deputy Foreign minister considered that if the aforementioned date was not the most important, it was one of them in the long history of this Central American country.

After the independence in 1821, the victory achieved by the Sandinista Revolution means a sort of second independence, said Gomez, referring to decades of oppression, violation of rights and suffering, due to the aggressiveness of the tyranny.

He asserted that the victory allowed Nicaragua, starting from that moment on, to go through contemporary history with better possibilities for economic development, people's rights and the democratic system that remains today.
