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.
