En el cable que se filtró de Wikiliks sobre Nicaragua, los gringos reconocen que habían donado US$ 1 millón para financiar a un "programa" de apoyo a las ONGs de la "sociedad civil", con el fin de contribuir a que desestabilizaran al gobierno.
El documento completo está acá:
En general, se plantean que esas organizaciones de la "sociedad civil" son los únicos actores de la oposición que tienen algún tipo de potencial para derrocar al gobierno, pero que les ha faltado capacidad y visión para construir una alternativa de oposición a Daniel. En ese documento, los gringos enfatizan en la importancia del apoyo de la "comunidad internacional" a estos grupos.
¿Cómo la ven?
Acá está el párrafo completo:
"These organizations, which represent diverse elements of Nicaraguan society, share a common conviction that civil society is the only viable sector that can keep Nicaragua on a democratic path and stop Ortega's authoritarian aspirations. Unfortunately, they lack clear direction on how to reach their destination and have missed many opportunities to really make their mark. Although they mounted a successful protest against the CPCs in September, they were unable to produce a ripple effect that inspired a wider pro-democratic movement. Initially galvanized to come together to oppose the government's encroachment on citizen rights and freedoms, civil society has not yet demonstrated a capacity or commitment to building any sort of unified alliance or response to the challenges facing the country. Some organizations, led by the Movimiento por Nicaragua (MpN), have pledged to unite as a coalition, but to little avail. Most NGOs suffer from a shortage of resources and lack of a long-term vision to work proactively on concrete, sustainable projects. Internal divisions, egos, leadership rivalries, and competition for donor resources and international cooperation also present impediments to building a long-term civic alliance. Despite the weaknesses of Nicaraguan civil society organizations, however, they remain one of the strongest forces working in defense of the country's democratic spaces. Support from the international community will be crucial if they are to make an impact, given the pressures they face. On our part, we have begun a USD 1 million small grants program for our democratic civil society friends".
