Nicaragua calls for ‘imperialist’ US to pay up
NICARAGUA reasserted its claim to historical reparations totalling £13 billion from Washington on Thursday after the US approved a Bill to stifle development there.
The House foreign affairs committee approved the amended Nicaraguan Investment Conditionality Act (NICA), drafted by Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Democrat Albio Sires.
The Bill seeks to use the US veto power over international finance institutions to block development loans to Daniel Ortega’s Sandinista-led Reconciliation and National Unity government.
