NICARAGUA warned today that the latest “onslaught” by world imperialist powers will not derail the ongoing Sandinista revolution.

Sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States on a number of government officials just hours before the inauguration of President Daniel Ortega would not weaken the will of the people, said Sandinista National Liberation Front MP Jose Figueroa.

“Nicaragua ratified on November 7 a path of self-determination, of sovereignty, of independence, of the right we Nicaraguans have to elect our own authorities.
