- NICARAGUAN CONSERVATIVES PROTEST CLOSING OF PARLIAMENT
-
- Nicaragua's ultra-conservative vice president Virgilio Godoy and
- deposed National Assembly president Alfredo Cesar led 500
- demonstrators, all members of the UNO coalition which brought
- President Violeta Chamorro to office, protesting what they called
- Chamorro's "military coup" against the Parliament. Chamorro had
- ordered a provisional board of directors to assume custody of the
- documents and facilities of the Parliament last December 30,
- dismissing Alfredo Cesar and other parliamentary leaders, after
- Cesar refused to respect a September 29 Supreme Court decision
- which stated that the Parliament had been operating illegally
- since September 2, and that everything done in the Parliament
- since that date was null and void. (edlp 01/07/93; Nicaragua

- "MODERATE" SANDINISTAS TELL ORTEGA TO QUIT
-
- Former Nicaraguan Ambassador to the United Nations under the
- Sandinista government, Carlos Tunnerman, and Sandinista leader
- Edmundo Jarquin, suggested on January 3 that the resignation of
- General Humberto Ortega as head of the Nicaraguan army might
- contribute to Nicaragua's stability. They said that his remaining
- with the army was not healty for the armed forces or for the
- tranquility of the country. Tunnerman said in a radio interview
- that the army must be modernized and professionalized and put
- under civilian authority. Only then, he said, would it be able to
- guarantee the country's stability. Tunnerman and Jarquin, members
- of the "moderate" wing of the Sandinista party, are the first two
- Sandinistas to publicly state their views against Ortega remaining
- at the head of the army. Ortega had said in a statement last
- October that he would remain head of the army until 1997, when the
- professionalization process is scheduled to be completed. (edlp
