In a communiqué, ALBA-TCP welcomed the reelection of President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, and congratulated the legislators elected to the National Assembly and the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN).

The General Secretariat of the integration bloc described Sunday’s elections as historic, in which Nicaragua ratified its struggle for peace and the defense of its independence and sovereignty.

In this sense, ALBA-TCP emphasized that the Nicaraguan people taught a new lesson of democracy and civic-mindedness, when they actively participated in the elections and freely elected their representatives, despite pressures and interfering threats.

The Alliance also recognized the huge economic, social and political achievements made by the Sandinista Revolution, which have allowed strengthening better conditions for the progress of Nicaragua, the communiqué concluded.
