The
Secretary General of the Organization of the American States (OAS),
Jose Miguel Insulza, declared today that “the Report of the Electoral
Observation Mission, presented to the OAS Permanent Council on January
24th, 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, the hemispheric
organization’s highest authority 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,” Secretary General Insulza concluded.
