“The recent electoral reforms taken by Daniel Ortega and his regime are a manipulative scheme that puts at risk the possibility of truly democratic elections in Nicaragua. We call for the immediate improvement of conditions to ensure a free, fair, and transparent electoral process with credible international observers. This is the only way to guarantee the will of the Nicaraguan people. We also urge the Ortega regime to release all political prisoners, to uphold freedom of speech, safeguard members of the independent press, and respect the work spearheaded by human rights organizations in defense of all Nicaraguans. As the co-authors of the bipartisan RENACER Act, we remain committed to working towards democratic elections in Nicaragua and holding those corrupt leaders and human rights violators in the Ortega regime accountable.”

“Las recientes reformas electorales por parte de Daniel Ortega y su régimen son otra maniobra manipuladora que ponen en riesgo la posibilidad de elecciones verdaderamente democráticas en Nicaragua. Pedimos la mejora de las condiciones para garantizar un proceso electoral libre, justo y transparente con observadores internacionales. Esa es la única forma de garantizar la voluntad del pueblo nicaragüense. También instamos al régimen de Ortega a liberar a todos los presos políticos, defender la libertad de expresión, salvaguardar a los miembros de la prensa independiente y respetar el trabajo que lideran las organizaciones de DDHH. en defensa de todos los nicaragüenses. Como coautores del proyecto de ley bipartidista RENACER, seguimos comprometidos en trabajar por unos comicios democráticos en Nicaragua. También, seguimos comprometidos en trabajar para responsabilizar a los líderes corruptos del régimen de Ortega y aquellos individuos que han violado los DDHH. del pueblo de Nicaragua”.
