Poor Pedo was the owner of La Prensa, the main printed voice of opposition to the regime in Nicaragua prior to the Communists taking over in 1980. He was actually murdered in 1979. His murder galvanized support for leftist Sandinista rebels attempting to overthrow President Somoza.
There is, however a fly in that ointment. He was most likely murdered by the Sandinistas, not Somoza.
When President Somoza said, "Hey, guys, I had nothing to do with that...", who would believe him?
A leftist President, namely Jimmy Carter cut off all aid to the Somoza regime and allowed the Communists to win. Do we see a pattern here?
Hugo-type Laws already passing our Congress
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember Pedro Chamorro?
