Victor Hugo Tenoco of the FSLN, Part 1
Call Number: JG/ 076BFormat: Cass BProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Part one of a Speech by Victor Hugo Tenoco, former Vice Foreign Minister of the Sandinista Government in Nicaragua, delivered at Georgia State University in 1991. Tenoco summarizes the process of the FSLN to work for "democracy and justice" during its ten year rule in Nicaragua. He surveys the long history and ideology of the Sandinista movement and discuses the party's fall from power, particularly its "unavoidable" collision course with U.S. neoconservatism. He also discuses the implications for the "revolution" with the Sandinistas' loss of national leadership and the important role they will continue to play in Nicaraguan politics as a democratic and grassroots party.
Victor Hugo Tenoco of the FSLN, Part 2
Call Number: JG/ 077AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Part two of a speech by Victor Hugo Tenoco, former Vice Foreign Minister of the Sandinista Government in Nicaragua, delivered at Georgia State University in 1991. Tenoco argues that Nicaragua today faces two major problems: democracy and reconciliation and economic recovery. The FSLN needs to serve as constructive opposition to the ruling government. He argues that democracy and reconciliation have made great progress in Nicaragua with the disbanding of the Contras but that the economic problems of the country still loom large for the future. The FSLN is in a difficult position of balancing national interests in economic reconstruction and protecting the concrete interests of the poor. He sees aide as unavoidable. The question remains whether U.S. aide will simply service the national debt or go to rebuild the Nicaraguan economy.
