Expresidente de Colombia tildó a Daniel Ortega de delincuente y criminal durante un acto de la Cepal
El expresidente colombiano Iván Duque calificó este martes a Daniel Ortega de “delincuente” y “criminal” durante la presentación de un informe de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), que vincula el desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe con el fortalecimiento de la democracia y las instituciones.
El documento, titulado Rupturas y oportunidades: propuestas para que América Latina y el Caribe prospere en la nueva era geopolítica, advierte que la región enfrenta un escenario marcado por la competencia geopolítica, la erosión democrática y el debilitamiento del multilateralismo.
Según Centroamérica 360, el informe plantea que el fortalecimiento institucional es una condición indispensable para el desarrollo regional.
Duque intervino en la presentación del estudio como copresidente de la comisión convocada por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe, junto con la expresidenta chilena Michelle Bachelet. Al referirse a Nicaragua, dijo que el país encarna el caso contrario al modelo que propone el informe.
“Nicaragua es todo menos eso; no es una democracia, es una dictadura opresora, con una centralización de todos los poderes y, por lo tanto, una pérdida absoluta de confianza y de interés de inversionistas que vean oportunidades de negocio en ese país”, expresó Duque.

El exmandatario colombiano endureció su posición al mencionar de forma directa al político nicaragüense. “Creo que Daniel Ortega es un delincuente, es un criminal y yo espero que Daniel Ortega encuentre su futuro en la justicia, que es lo que le corresponde”, afirmó Duque.
La publicación también consignó que Duque reclamó una respuesta de la justicia internacional por las violaciones a los derechos humanos que atribuyó al régimen nicaragüense. Denunció encarcelamientos, torturas y expulsiones de opositores por defender libremente sus ideas.
“Lo que ha hecho con las personas que han sido llevadas a la cárcel, torturadas y expulsadas por defender libremente sus ideas demuestra que no tiene cabida bajo ningún prisma de legalidad”, añadió el exmandatario colombiano.
Ese señalamiento se inscribió en una idea central del informe de la CEPAL: la región solo podrá aprovechar sus recursos estratégicos y fortalecer su posición internacional si cuenta con instituciones sólidas, gobernanza efectiva y Estados capaces de generar confianza. La tesis del documento vincula desarrollo, estabilidad democrática y capacidad de atraer inversión.
Duque sostuvo además que Nicaragua tiene un amplio potencial económico y social, pero afirmó que ese desarrollo dependerá de la recuperación del orden democrático. Su planteamiento conectó la situación interna del país con una de las conclusiones de fondo del estudio presentado por la comisión regional.
“Espero que Nicaragua recupere el orden democrático y recupere el potencial que tiene en muchísimos sectores, y que ese potencial se base en la solidez de sus instituciones, en la confianza, en la seguridad y en valores compartidos, entre ellos el valor de la defensa irrestricta de la libertad”, indicó el colombiano.
La comisión que elaboró el informe fue convocada para examinar los desafíos geopolíticos de América Latina y el Caribe en la actual etapa internacional. Entre sus conclusiones, sostiene que la prosperidad regional exige instituciones democráticas fuertes, gobernanza eficaz y marcos estatales que ofrezcan confianza pública y previsibilidad.

Crowded Russian beach descends into chaos after alleged Ukrainian drone incident kills 7, including 4 children
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Vacationers were sent scrambling for safety Monday after a projectile struck a crowded beach in a Russian Black Sea resort town, killing seven people, including four children, and injuring dozens more, officials said.
Video footage captured the incident in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik, where the beach was packed with visitors at the time of the strike.
The Russian Mission in Geneva said in a post on X that the «bloody attack» was carried out by a drone launched by Ukraine, accusing Kyiv of targeting civilians.

«The attack targeted civilian infrastructure. Emergency and special services are working at the crash site,» regional Gov. Veniamin Kondratyev said in a post on Telegram.
«What happened today is a targeted attack by the Kyiv regime against civilians who have no connection to the military infrastructure. This cynical and inhumane terrorist attack against children cannot be justified.»

Andriy Kovalenko, an officer with Ukraine’s Defense Forces, disputed Russia’s account, saying the deaths were directly caused by Russian air defenses that intercepted a drone, sending debris onto the beach.
«Russian air defense shot down a drone over people lying on the beach,» Kovalenko said on Telegram.
In the video, sounds resembling gunfire were heard just seconds before a drone struck the beach, causing a fireball explosion that sent bystanders screaming. As the gunfire was heard, the drone appeared to veer sharply before diving toward the beach.
Preliminary Russian reports also found that several of the deaths were caused by «falling drone debris,» Kondratyev said.

In another Telegram post, Kovalenko indicated that Ukraine uses its weapons against Russian military-industrial infrastructure to affect Moscow’s ability to finance the war.
He further accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of creating an «illusion» that Russia would remain safe from the war by downplaying daily explosions as falling debris, limiting air raid warnings, and positioning air defenses near populated areas such as the Black Sea resort.

«Putin deliberately killed these people. Because if he had not started the war and struck Ukraine, they would be alive,» Kovalenko said.
«It was Putin, his air defense, who killed these Russians. His decisions in response to their decisions launched a chain of death for Russians.»

Trump blasts Democratic socialist candidate as ‘full of s—‘ and Dems are skipping socialism ‘for communism’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed Wednesday, singling out the progressive candidate as «full of s—» while arguing Democrats are embracing communism.
The remarks came hours after El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democrat Senate primary, winning by less than one percentage point after The Associated Press called the race early Wednesday.
He will face Republican Mike Rogers in November for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters.
Trump devoted several minutes of his Las Vegas speech to attacking democratic socialist candidates, arguing they are advancing communist ideas and calling communism «the greatest threat» facing the United States.

«These people are dangerous and frankly, they are lunatics. They’re crazy, and we can’t let them get into office,» Trump said. «Communism is the greatest threat to our country in its history, including even World War One, World War Two, Pearl Harbor, 9/11. I think it’s the greatest threat.»
The White House later amplified that portion of Trump’s remarks on social media, posting simply: «Communism is the greatest threat to our country.»
Trump mocked what he said communist policies would mean for Americans.
«Would you like a free house? We’ll take one from your neighbor. Would you like free rent? We’ll take it from whoever. We’ll take your building away from the landlord,» Trump said. «What they don’t say, and what Republicans should say, is that at the end of the year, you’ll have nothing but death, squalor, poverty. You’ll have a life of hell.»

The president pointed to Venezuela as an example of what he said happens when communist policies take hold.
«Look at Venezuela, where it was such a rich country 20 years ago,» Trump said. «Every time this has happened, you go through squalor … filth, crime, death, destruction, embarrassment. You lose your home. You lose your apartment.»
Trump then singled out El-Sayed by name, drawing one of the loudest reactions of the night.
«When I watch Abdul, he’s full of s—,» Trump said.

El-Sayed’s victory gives Democrats a progressive nominee in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races. Backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., El-Sayed campaigned on Medicare for All, getting money out of politics and ending U.S. military aid to Israel.
He has described himself as a capitalist and has distanced himself from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), though Republicans have frequently tied him to the broader democratic socialist movement.
Trump later returned to a familiar theme from the second term of his presidency.
«If you remember, during my State of the Union speech, I made a very strong statement. I said that America will never be a socialist country,» Trump said. «I was right.»
The president argued Democrats now want to move beyond socialism.

«What I didn’t say is what they’re trying to do. They want to skip socialism. They want to go right down to the bottom of the barrel. That’s communism,» Trump said. «They want it to be a communist country. We’re not letting them have it as a communist country, not even for a minute.»
Trump closed by vowing to defeat what he called the Democrat Party’s leftward movement.
«Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America once and for all,» Trump said. «It’s defeated. It’s going to go down. It always goes down.»
The White House and El-Sayed’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
