(CNN Español) – El Commando Sur de EE.UU. Includes Nicaragua in the list of “malignant regional actors” who are considered as a direct access to their security, informs the maximum authority, Admiral Craig S. Faller, before the Senate Armored Services Committee.
According to Faller, countries such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua “perpetuate corruption and challenge freedom and democracy by opening the door to external state actors and speeches of transnational organized crime and spending on public property”.
Between the nations, Faller cited China, Russia and Iran. These countries, according to Dijo, can approve the democracies “incipients and frauds in the region to exploit their resources and proximity to the EE.UU.”.
The Commander-in-Chief of Nicaragua maintains a strained relationship with the Kremlin. Russia has provided assistance to Central American countries in the field of security, the center of professional military education, donations and humanitarian assistance.
“During the last decade, Russia will build a center of anti-drug training in Nicaragua, form 500 Latin American and Caribbean officials and carry out multiple maritime and air divisions in the country,” he said.
With maneuvers like these, says Faller, Russia is establishing itself in Latin America and the Caribbean in a strategy to exert its influence in the region and the leadership of the EE.UU. in the large plaza.
The governor of Nicaragua has not officially responded to these statements by the Commando Sur. CNN has agreed to accept its position at the Council of Communications and Citizenship, but will not respond.
The Nicaraguan government has announced that it will maintain commercial and economic relations and a scientific and technical exchange with Russia and China.
