Q24N (EFE) The new foreign minister of Nicaragua, Valdrack Jaentschke, said last week that “humanity is in critical moments” due to the emergence of a new multipolar world order, and criticized the sanctions that the United States has imposed on Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
“Humanity is in critical moments. Moments of birth of a new history, of the emergence of a new world order that is more just, more collective, more supportive,” said Jaentschke during the XXIV Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) that took place in New York, within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly.
“And like all births, the emergence of this new world order, multipolar, without hegemonies that are imposed, is hard, it is difficult, it is painful. These are also dangerous times for humanity,” he insisted.

The Nicaraguan foreign minister, who recently replaced retired general Denis Moncada, who was in charge of the Foreign Ministry since January 2017, said that “these are times when the dignified, free and sovereign peoples of the world are facing old and new forms of aggression.”
“The rifles and gunboats of the past are now reborn in new forms of aggression, euphemistically called sanctions. These illegal coercive measures are nothing more than an update of the old Monroe Doctrine and the gunboat policy,” he criticized.
For the head of Nicaraguan diplomacy, “they are the same military interventions and the same interferences perpetuated by the Yankee empire in the 19th and 20th centuries against the dignified peoples who fight for independence and self-determination.”
Nicaragua reaffirms its support for Nicolás Maduro
Likewise, Nicaragua reaffirmed its “militant solidarity with the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, besieged, coveted and attacked.”
Jaentschke said that Venezuela, governed by Nicolás Maduro, is “a revolution that demonstrated to the world a clear and resounding popular victory, against the destabilizing collusion of the dark forces of the empire, its northern companions and local cronies.”
“Since when do worthy, victorious people have to present to self-appointed proconsuls papers or records that certify this overwhelming popular victory?” asked the foreign minister, in reference to the demand of a good part of the international community for an impartial, transparent and independent verification of the results of the Venezuelan elections.

“Let the empires learn that revolutions are only accountable to their people. The Bolivarian Revolution, through its legitimate institutions and in a sovereign and unquestionable manner, has presented the victorious results of its electoral battle to its people,” he continued.
The Nicaraguan representative also sent his “solidary and militant embrace to the Sister Republic of Cuba, which has been facing for more than six decades the barbarity that is the blockade, the imperial arrogance of trying to designate it as a promoter of terrorism, when Cuba is one of the most loving and defending nations of peace.”
According to Jaentschke, “in the face of all these threats, the existence of the Bolivarian Alliance remains vital to safeguard peace and keep the voice of dignity in our Latin America and the Caribbean loud and clear.”
