NICARAGUA: Ortega fires broadside at US and opposition
President Daniel Ortega is accusing the US of funding efforts by the domestic opposition to create a united front against his government. The "conspiracy", which Ortega condemned during a ceremony commemorating the 112th anniversary of the birth of Augusto Sandino on 19 May, involved a meeting between the three men he defeated in last November's presidential elections: José Rizo, Eduardo Montealegre and Edmundo Jarquín, of the Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC), Alianza Liberal Nicaragüense (ALN) and Movimiento Renovador Sandinista (MRS) respectively. They met on 14 May to discuss forging an anti-Ortega front to defend democracy.
