English/ Spanish: Rubio, Kaine Introduce Groundbreaking Legislation to Confront Nicaraguan Crisis
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) introduced bipartisan legislation which would extend the U.S. government’s authority to impose sanctions on the Nicaraguan regime through December 31, 2028. The bill would also expand sanctions to include Nicaraguan officials responsible for violations of the human rights of religious believers, direct the U.S. State Department to enforce sectoral sanctions, and direct State to work with allies and partners to stop providing investment to Nicaragua through the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI).
The bill builds upon the Nicaragua Human Rights and Anticorruption (NICA) Act of 2018 and the Reinforcing Nicaragua’s Adherence to Conditions for Electoral Reform (RENACER) Act of 2021 which authorize sanctions and other international pressures against the criminal and oppressive Ortega-Murillo dictatorship.
Following Ortega’s wave of violence, repression, arbitrary arrests, and forceful exiles after the 2022 sham elections, the U.S. must develop a cohesive plan to address the criminal nature of the Ortega-Murillo regime.
-
“The decision made by the criminal Ortega-Murillo regime to completely undermine the presidential election process in 2022, as well as their decision to force into exile nearly all of Nicaragua’s opposition and actively repress members of the Catholic Church, indicates that the regime’s vile nature continues to grow. U.S. policy towards Nicaragua should no longer be the same, we must implement policies that respond to the current reality.” – Senator Rubio
-
“The decline of democracy in Nicaragua under President Ortega drives irregular migration and harms the stability of our hemisphere. This bill addresses the corruption and human rights abuses of the Ortega regime by imposing tougher sanctions on individuals and institutions that have cracked down on civil society organizations, targeted the Catholic Church, and silenced Nicaraguans who have spoken out against these abuses, including individuals like Bishop Rolando Álvarez, who was stripped of his Nicaraguan citizenship, sentenced 26 years in jail, and labeled by the Ortega regime a ‘traitor to the homeland’ for rightly criticizing the regime’s crackdown.” – Senator Kaine
RUBIO Y KAINE PRESENTAN LEGISLACIÓN PARA ENFRENTAR CRISIS EN NICARAGUA
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Tim Kaine (D-VA) presentaron una legislación bipartidista que extendería la autoridad del gobierno de EE.UU. para imponer sanciones en contra del régimen de Nicaragua hasta el 31 de diciembre del 2028. El proyecto de ley también ampliará las sanciones para incluir a los funcionarios nicaragüenses responsables de violaciones a los DD.HH. de los creyentes religiosos. La ley también instruye al Departamento de Estado a implementar sanciones sectoriales y ordena al Departamento de Estado a que trabaje con aliados y socios para dejar de proporcionar inversiones a Nicaragua a través del Banco Centroamericano de Integración Económica (BCIE).
El proyecto de ley se basa en la ley NICA Act del 2018 y la ley RENACER del 2021 que autorizan sanciones y otras presiones internacionales en contra de la dictadura criminal y opresiva de Ortega-Murillo.
Tras la ola de violencia, represión, arrestos arbitrarios y exilios forzosos por parte de Ortega y Murillo después de las elecciones falsas de 2022, EE.UU. debe desarrollar un plan cohesivo para abordar la naturaleza criminal del régimen Ortega-Murillo.
-
“La decisión tomada por el régimen criminal de Ortega-Murillo de socavar por completo el proceso de elección presidencial en el 2022, así como su decisión de forzar al exilio a casi toda la oposición de Nicaragua y reprimir activamente a miembros de la Iglesia Católica, indica que la naturaleza vil de este régimen sigue creciendo. La política de EE.UU. hacia Nicaragua ya no debe ser la misma, debemos implementar políticas que respondan a la realidad actual”. – Senador Rubio

“El deterioro de la democracia en Nicaragua bajo el Presidente Ortega conduce a la migración irregular y perjudica la estabilidad de nuestro hemisferio. Este proyecto de ley aborda la corrupción y los abusos a los derechos humanos del régimen de Ortega al imponer sanciones más fuertes a los individuos e instituciones que le han puesto mano dura a organizaciones de la sociedad civil, que hacen de la Iglesia Católica un blanco, y que silencian a los nicaragüenses que han se han expresado en contra de estos abusos, incluyendo a individuos como el Obispo Rolando Álvarez, quien fue privado de su ciudadanía nicaragüense, sentenciado a 26 años en cárcel, y marcado por el régimen de Ortega como “traidor a la patria” por criticar justamente las medidas severas del régimen.” – Senador Kaine
