Los Ángeles. El principal encargado del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos para Latinoamérica, Brian Nichols, advirtió este lunes que podrían aplicar una nueva ronda de sanciones contra Nicaragua si no hay cambios en su actuar, durante la jornada inaugural del Foro de la Sociedad Civil en la novena Cumbre de las Américas.

“Esperamos cambios profundos en su forma de actuar y si no, vamos a tomar medidas para expresar nuestro desacuerdo con la presión política que existe en Nicaragua en este momento”, manifestó Nichols. “Nicaragua sigue con alrededor de 40 políticos importantes encarcelados por tratar de participar en las elecciones, que terminaron siendo completamente una farsa”, agregó el funcionario en declaraciones a los periodistas previo a la apertura del foro, en la ciudad de Los Ángeles.
