The President of the Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, expressed his condolences to the Nicaraguan people for the death of Jacinto Suárez Espinoza, leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front.
Through a statement issued this Thursday by the Venezuelan Chancellory, it was highlighted that Suárez Espinoza was a historical member of this revolutionary movement, being its secretary of International Relations, besides being a deputy of the Nicaraguan National Assembly.
“Comrade Jacinto never hesitated to offer even his own life for the dignity of his people,” indicates this document.
Following, the full text:
“The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, on behalf of the people and Government of Venezuela, extends his heartfelt condolences to the people and Government of Nicaragua, for the passage to immortality of the much-loved, tireless, courageous and consistent, Comrade Jacinto Suarez Espinoza, Secretary of International Relations of the Sandinista Front for National Liberation and Deputy to the Nicaraguan National Assembly.
Comrade Jacinto never hesitated to even offer his own life for the justice and dignity of his people. He shared with Commander Daniel Ortega more than seven years in the prisons of the Somoza dictatorship, and was an essential part of the heroic struggle of the Sandinista militancy, which crowned, on that heroic July 19, the triumph of so many wills, to conquer freedom, true social democracy, and the construction of a more sovereign, just and humane homeland.
From the Bolivarian Venezuela, which also knows about struggles and honor, we want to honor comrade Jacinto, his historic Sandinista militancy, and the greatest attribute of his political legacy: absolute loyalty to his people and his convictions. We endorse the words of Commander Tomas Borge, in his tribute to Commander Carlos Fonseca Amador: Jacinto, you are one of the dead, who never dies!
Let us also continue, with the conviction of advancing in the project of the Great Latin American Fatherland, which united Bolívar, Sandino and Chávez, in this common struggle.
Long live Nicaragua, blessed and always free!
Long live the Great Homeland of America!”
