Advarsler om kup i Nicaragua

Taget balladen om forsøgene på at køre en rigsretssag mod Clinton i betragtning kan man undre sig over hvorfor forsøgene på at gøre det samme mod Nicaraguas præsident Bolano ikke får lignende opmærksomhed. Man fristes til at tro at det er fordi heksejagten denne gang kommer fra venstre fløj. Nærmere betegnet fra en uhellig alliance af venstreradikale tidligere diktaturtilhængere og klienter af tidl. præsident Aleman, der for tiden sidder en dom på 20 års fængsel for korruption af (fra BBC):

Sandinistas and members of Mr Bolanos Liberal Party are trying to strip the president of his powers.

The legislators have passed constitutional reforms limiting the president's power, despite a ruling by the Central American Court of Justice which declared them inapplicable. ...

President Bolanos - who took office in 2002 after a landslide victory over Sandinista leader and former President Daniel Ortega - has said he will view any attempt to impeach him as a coup.

Members of the ruling Liberal Party turned against Mr Bolanos after his government decided to prosecute former President Arnoldo Aleman for corruption.

Aleman is serving a 20-year sentence for fraud and money-laundering, but he still commands the loyalty of many of his party's legislators.

Forsøgene går for tiden på at prøve at køre en rigsretssag mod Præsident Bolano på grund af påstået misbrug af valgmidler.
