ALBA, an advanced effort in the integration of our America, has Nicaragua as a great bastion and President Daniel Ortega as one of its distinguished leaders.

In this day of people’s exultation, President Hugo Chavez reiterates the will and commitment of the Bolivarian Revolution to continue working together with the Sandinista, Christian, Supportive and Socialist People’s Revolution, within a framework of respect to the sovereign will of its people, to consolidate the Great Homeland dreamed of  by our heroes and liberators Augusto C. Sandino, Carlos Fonseca Amador and Simon Bolivar.

Long Live Nicaragua, the daybreak is not a temptation anymore!
