Radio America. The lawyer Joaquín Mejía, questioned this Tuesday that the international community does not treat the Central American countries equally in accusations of corruption.
“The international community continues to show a terrible double standard when it comes to different countries, because for example in the case of Nicaragua when the Daniel Ortega regime, through the National Congress and the Court that it controls, has generated a series of reforms and approval of laws to change the rules and institutions with the aim of guaranteeing impunity for their illicit acts of corruption, in that case the European Union and the United States impose sanctions on the senior leaders of that regime, ”said Mejía.
He said that when the National Congress in Guatemala generates a series of actions to control the institutions or dismiss officials who are doing their job in the fight against impunity and corruption, the United States and the international community “beat their chests,” they impose sanctions and denounce what is happening.
He also expressed that the same situation occurs in El Salvador when it makes a series of reforms and the international community denounces and imposes sanctions.
“But when exactly the same thing happens in Honduras that has happened in other countries, the US and the international community timidly point out that they are against what is happening, but they do not take forceful actions as if they do with other nations,” he criticized. .
