Comments by Dr. Gustavo Porras
President of the National Assembly of Nicaragua
at the conclusion of the start of Consultations to the Constitutional Reforms
presented to the Military of the Nicaraguan Army
July 29th 2026
Today we started the Process of Consultations on Constitutional Reforms and it is no coincidence that we inaugurated this Process, we started this Process with the Military Forces of the Nicaraguan Army.
We have presented all the aspects and concepts that are subject to reform: The time period, the walls and containment barriers against all those coup plotters, it must be said... those coup promoters, traitors to the Patriotic Nation, those who mount attempts against the Independence, Sovereignty and Self-Determination of Nicaragua, those who violate the Constitution, none of these people can have Political Rights, we made that clear.
And we make clear everything touching on the attributions to the Supreme Electoral Council so as to fulfill these Constitutional Mandates.
Well, the most important thing, briefly, is that we can be proud of the support given to us by the entire large number of the Corps of Generals, Colonels, Senior Officers and Junior Officers; that is, all of the great Officer Corps in command of our Army supported us, gave an endorsement to the Constitutional Reform, and expressed a sense of National Unity around these Reforms.
Unity of the Government, of the Organs of the State, Unity of the Nicaraguan Army as an Institution, and Unity of Everyone, the People of Nicaragua. As we said once, Army-People-Unity-of-Everyone, that's going to guarantee the Victory over Poverty, that's the most important thing. And you could hear that expression of "Everyone for the Patriotic Nation”, which has been one of the rallying calls and slogans of our Nicaraguan Army.
We feel proud and it has been a good beginning of this Consultation Process; a Consultation Process which will take us the whole month of August and what’s left of July, August, leading up to the month of the Patriotic Nation, in salute to the Patriotic Nation, so as to approve the Constitutional Reform in the First Legislature.
