OAS reaffirms conclusions of electoral report on Nicaragua
Published on February 2, 2012      Print Version

WASHINGTON, USA -- The secretary general of the Organization of the American States (OAS), Jose Miguel Insulza, declared on Tuesday that “the Report of the Electoral Observation Mission, presented to the OAS Permanent Council on January 24, is the only official opinion of the General Secretariat about the election in Nicaragua.”

Referring to press accounts about the statements of Ricardo Seitenfus, the OAS office director in Nicaragua, Insulza indicated that “this was a personal verbal opinion noted by the press that in no capacity whatsoever substitutes or replaces that of the formal mission which observed the development of the whole process and emitted its conclusions with all of its antecedents in a well-founded and complete manner.”

“The OAS never provides results or conclusions based on partial reports or quick counts, nor does it authorize any such distribution,” he affirmed.

With the report that Chief of Mission Dante Caputo delivered one week ago, “the observations of the OAS have been completed. The opinions given by other individuals on their own behalves do not alter this reality,” Insulza concluded.
