The Acting Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Luigi R. Einaudi, today expressed profound satisfaction over the agreement signed on January 12 in Nicaragua to establish a mechanism for national dialogue that would strengthen governance in that country. Einaudi added that he hoped that the remaining political forces in the country would soon join in the national dialogue.
“The success of this dialogue, which everyone hopes for, will strengthen Nicaraguan democracy and give new life to the democratic values and practices affirmed in the Inter-American Democratic Charter,” the Acting Secretary General said. He added that he hoped all parties involved in the dialogue would continue to demonstrate good faith, thus making it possible to overcome the difficulties that are normal in such processes.
Among the central issues contemplated in the national dialogue are the professionalization of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Electoral Court and the Office of the Comptroller General; electoral reform; the institutionalization of political parties’ internal democratic practices; legislation on the financing of political parties; the availability of free advertising space in the media; and the tax system applied to the communications media.
In October 2004, at the request of the government of Nicaragua, the OAS sent a high-level mission to follow political developments in that country. As a result of its visit, the mission proposed that a national dialogue be held as a practical measure to strengthen democracy and governance in Nicaragua.
