Remarks by Dr. Gustavo Porras
President of the National Assembly of Nicaragua to media of Nicaragua’s People Power
July 27th 2026
Dr. Gustavo Porras:
Well, following due guidance from the Presidency of the Republic, and with the presence of the Special Constitutional Commission, Representatives of the Supreme Electoral Council and the Government’s Cabinet, we have held a conversation with the diplomats accredited in our country and representatives of international organizations, to whom we have explained that we are working, as you know, on a process of Constitutional Reform to guarantee us the necessary conditions to continue combating Poverty, seeking Stability and guaranteeing Peace and Security, and this is fundamental.
And to do so we have to make Constitutional Reforms which guarantee our Democracy, Nicaragua’s Democracy, the Democracy of the Nicaraguan People, the Democracy of the People President, which means an electoral organization which responds to the interests of the People and ensures that the Elections will be of Nicaragua’s People, for Nicaragua’s People, as we have been insisting.
We communicated this to the Diplomatic Corps and I am certain they understand we are going to hold clean, transparent elections, just as we have been doing all these years, in correspondence with the responsibility that befalls us as representatives of the Nicaraguan People.
That's what these Reforms are going to do, and it was interesting that there was acceptance, we noted their concerns, and we are going to continue holding new meetings to inform about the processes we are engaged in. That is to say, these are meetings where our objective is exclusively to inform, and it is important so that everyone can now be clear. So now, anyone who isn’t clear is because they don't want to be. Period.
