In statements to the bulletin Informe Pastrán, Wálmaro, who is also the president of the Economy and Budget Commission of the National Assembly (parliament), assured that Nicaragua is betting on being a beneficiary of these funds, which is a strategic and legitimate interest.
The parliamentarian added that in order to overcome the diplomacy of the US dollar and its aggression, Managua is taking actions to stop using the Swift financial platform (system that facilitates the movement of capital between countries) and to avoid that this tool be used as rewards and punishments.
In this regard, he added that they are seeking to use Russia’s MIR platform, which operates successfully in other countries and allows transactions in national currencies.
On the other hand, he alluded to the challenges facing Nicaraguans, since it is not enough to open new and better markets “if we do not decide to increase, develop our productive capacities and our tools to produce.”
“And also, to defend peace. Peace is not negotiable, just as sovereignty is not negotiable. Peace is defended. Therefore, we believe that if we have a climate of peace, a government that opens new and better markets and at the same time promotes tools to improve production (…), I believe that there is very good news for the Nicaraguan people,” he said.
