(CNN Español) – The National Assembly approves this celebration as a declaration of the symbols of the Defense Defender of the National Sovereignty (EDSN) as the National Inheritance of the Nation.
The EDSN was organized and led by Augusto Cesar Sandino, and was integrated with young men, women and men who opposed the military occupation of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s.
The law, which remains alive from its official publication in La Gaceta diario oficial, is considered confiscator by the Nicaraguan musician Carlos Mejía Godoy, maximum songwriter of the renowned Sandinista Revolution that took place in Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979.
The “Ley that declares the banner, the hymn, the cello, the songs, the written, graphic and audiovisual documents of Ejercito Defensor de la Soberanía Nacional, EDSN, como patrimonio cultural inmaterial de la Nación”, was presented on February 10 the first secretariat of Parliament by the Commission on Education, Culture, Sports and Social Communication and approved by the favorable vote of 74 lawmakers. The coordinator of the commission, the Sandinista deputy Jose Antonio Zepeda, sympathized with the importance of the declaration of their symbols as national heritage.
“Recognized as authentic symbols of patriotism that accompany the Defense of Sovereignty, Independence and Integrity of National Territory,” Zepeda said.
Prior to the approval of the legislation, and although the legislative initiative does not directly mention the numbers of its works, the author Carlos Mejía Godoy warns that his songs are seriously confiscated. Mejía told CNN on February 10 that “what I’m doing is adelantándome and what it’s probably vengeance, because we live in a surrealist country where you can do anything; ellos se sinten dueños de vidas y bienes y extraña que ellos quieran confiscar hasta aire que respiramos ».
The songwriter is aware that the songs of his author are defamatory in Gobierno’s actuarial acts. “Ya de hecho nuestra obra la tienen confiscada, porque ni siquiera cumplen con el deber fundamental de dar los credites a los autores de las canciones”.
This is the 19th of February, during the opening of the special session in honor of the 87th anniversary of the death of Augusto C. Sandino, a musical group performing two songs dedicated to Sandino, one by Carlos Mejía and another by his son Luis Enrique.
The Germans Carlos and Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy, who composed emblematic songs of support to the Sandinista revolution, distanced themselves from Daniel Ortega from his regression until he was 14 years old.
The Mejía Godoy dedicated dedicated to the deadly victims of the anti-government protests initiated in April 2018 and also, at least 41 years ago, dedicated songs to the indigenous people of Monimbó in Masaya, considered epicenter of the protests.
In the course of 2018, Carlos Mejía Godoy abandoned el país aduciendo razones de seguridad. Luis Enrique Mejía also finds herself in exile.
CNN received a comment on Mejía Godoy’s statements to the Council of Communications and Citizenship of the Government, but we hope it will be answered.
The vice president and spokesman of the governor, Rosario Murillo, celebrates the endorsement of the lie in his habitual lamentation by the official media: “All these are written, all are correspondence, all are books, songs, flowers, poets, all are graphic, all, as tenemos of those times, which are these times, in terms of spiritual power that tenemos the Nicaraguans, all of them are our heroic, cultural, spiritual heritage, »Murillo expresses.
Augusto César Sandino, a guerrilla leader who fought against United States militaries in the Nicaraguan Empire between the 1920s and 1930s.
Through the salads of Nicaragua’s stadiums in 1933, Sandino was invited to speak by Anastasio Somoza, the Entente jesu de la Guardia Nacional, but also secured and assigned. Somoza’s hiccup was dropped by the Sandinistas in 1979.
