Century Socialism, “Revolutionary Brotherhood”
The President of the Government of Bolivarian Unity of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez Frias, proposed toCompanion President Daniel Ortega Saavedra the project of 21
st
Century Socialism “RevolutionaryBrotherhood”. This is a Latin American program for the sustainability of 21
st
Century Socialism –Nicaraguan Chapter. This program the Nicaraguan Revolutionaries, true sons of Sandino, havedenominated the “Second Sandinista Revolution”. From Bolivar to Sandino. We have proudly approvedthis and presented it at a private meeting with Commander Hugo Chavez, in Managua. This meetingwas held in the secretariat of the FSLN, in the month of January of 2009.On that occasion we were addressed by a very enthusiastic and optimistic Commander Chavez, whoexplained to his companion Daniel Ortega that similar projects were already being implemented in therest of the countries befriended by the ALBA, albeit with their own characteristics. Among those areHonduras, Ecuador, Bolivia, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Sponsored politically andeconomically by Venezuela. He insisted that the financing would be assumed entirely by the brothernation of Venezuela with a participation of 1,000 million dollars a year per country.The ALBA countries that are promoting the project are: Ecuador, Bolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cubaand Venezuela. Subsequently other candidates will be incorporated, specifically: Dominican Republicand El Salvador.Among the guiding principles of the Project Revolutionary Brotherhood, is the indispensable need tomaintain control of the governments of the aforementioned countries and extend it for 15 years, at aminimum, with the continuation of the power of the revolutionary leaders Manuel Zelaya, DanielOrtega, Evo Morales, Rafael Correa, Raul Castro and Hugo Chavez. In Nicaragua and Honduras, where todate the revolutionary succession of the current presidents is not secured, there should start animmediate and uninterrupted campaign beginning with the next Sandinista Congress to take place inOctober of 2009. In the case of Honduras we will work for the re-election of Zelaya in November 2009.

Nicaragua Chapter“Second Sandinista Revolution”A group of valuable Sandinista cadres, coordinated by the companion Rosario Murillo, have adjusted thisrevolutionary initiative of the people to the concrete realities of the free Nicaragua of Sandino. Now wehave a tool, a plan which at the same time is a guide to action. We have agreed that we will make itknown to our members in the next Sandinista Congress. We are sure that the same will be enriched andwe will all implement in according to our Sandinista mystique in a deliberate fashion.The new strategic lines of action are defined as the recuperation of the revolutionary rights that havebeen lost.To implement them we require a new Political Constitution. In which shall be reformed all the powersof the state, seizing the quotas of power from the liberals, that way we will forever end the blackmailand our adversaries won’t be able to recuperate power within the next 15 years.It is important to gain followers in the Armed Forces who support the Sandinistas and make themunderstand that in this way they are assuring and protecting the interests of the people and theirinvestments and interests between revolutionary Sandinista brothers.These reforms will guarantee the necessary transformations in the political, economic, social, culturaland even religious areas. Reaching both the city and the field, principally in possession of education,health, popular housing, agriculture and other key emblematic programs, like the Citizen’s Power, andthe resurgence of the cooperatives and the re-conversion of the police and the Army.Principle Areas of Focus1)
Conduct within the mark of 21
st
Century Socialism and the Bolivarian Alliance for the people’s of our America, ALBA, the popular conflict against the oligarchs and imperialism. Minimize thefigures of the United States and the Europe, emphasizing Venezuelan solidarity and theleadership of Commander Hugo Chavez.2)
Establish the Citizen Power as the central figure of leadership and revolutionary organization,which will substitute the historic “National Board” of the old FSLN. Restructure the party withnew leadership where Commander Daniel Ortega and the Citizen Power will be the symbol parexcellence of the Second Sandinista Revolution.3)
Transform the institutions of the state into inexpugnable bastions of Sandinistas; carry this outas secretly as possible, including the Armed Forces, Police and Army linking themselves directlywith the party and the organizations of the Citizen Power. Quickly there has to be felt againamong the people the “Armed Forces of the Citizen Power”. For this implement revolutionaryoutreach nationally with joint participation between members, military and police together withthe people.4)
Break the link that exists between members of the Armed Forces with the “right” and teachthem new revolutionary concepts, with support and from our Venezuelan and Cuban brothers.
5)
Deepen the weakness and division of the political opposition, taking advantage of theirweaknesses, and by the means and methods necessary monopolize the National Assembly, theSupreme Court of Justice and the Supreme Electoral Council.6)
Promote a tactical alliance with businesses, concentrating our effort in giving political “alms”which provide them certain minimum spaces in which they can be allies and not enemies of FSLN. Concentrating on characteristics of personal leaders to gain their support of our system.7)
Recuperate the Sandinista Citizenship, which in the neo-liberal governments has left defeated,lost, demoralized, demobilized or deserted, making them protagonists of their new SandinistaRevolution and beneficiaries of the partisan governmental policies.8)
Recuperate at all cost the spaces lost in the arena of the media, investing human and economicresources until we totally dominate this arena which is strategic for our fight. Revert thetendencies against Sandinismo, taking the media war to the heart of the Nicaraguan society.Actions to guarantee the Popular Revolutionary PowerAssure that we do not hand over power until at least three consecutive terms of Sandinismo.
