Washington. Estados Unidos considera que Nicaragua consolidará una “dictadura” con el previsible triunfo de Daniel Ortega el próximo domingo en unas elecciones que califica como “una farsa”, y asegura que se necesitará todo el peso legal y diplomático para restaurar la vía democrática.

“Estas elecciones no tendrán credibilidad, son una farsa”, aseguró el jueves Patrick Ventrell, director de Asuntos Centroamericanos en el Departamento de Estado.

“Vamos hacia el escenario de una dictadura a la que tendremos que responder”, afirmó durante un foro organizado por el Wilson Center y el Atlantic Council, dos centros de estudios con sede en Washington.
