Derrocar al gobierno sandinista en Nicaragua es un objetivo clave de la política exterior de Estados Unidos en América Latina. Junto con Cuba y Venezuela, Nicaragua ha sido descrita por la administración Trump como parte de una "Troika de tiranía" en la región. Tras el golpe de estado respaldado por Estados Unidos en Bolivia que eliminó a Evo Morales y el Movimiento hacia el Socialismo (MAS) del gobierno en noviembre de 2019, la administración de Estados Unidos ahora está intensificando sus intentos de lograr un cambio de régimen en Nicaragua y Venezuela y aislar y atacar aún más la revolución cubana.

Nicaragua and the struggle against US imperialism in Latin America – an interview with Daniel Kovalik
In 2018 the US coordinated an attempted coup against Nicaragua’s democratically elected President Daniel Ortega and the left wing Sandinista government. The coup plot failed but the impact of months of extreme violence instigated by right wing opposition groups funded by the US has been to transform Nicaragua’s economic success story into a crisis, with the economy contracting in 2018 and 2019. The imposition of US sanctions through the ‘NICA Act’ of December 2018 has put serious pressure on the Nicaraguan government.
Bolivie: le coup d’État soutenu par les États-Unis était basé sur des mensonges
Les mensonges et l'hypocrisie flagrants des États-Unis ont été mis au jour avec la publication d'une nouvelle étude du Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Celle-ci montre qu'il n'y a pas eu de fraude lors de l'élection présidentielle d'octobre dernier en Bolivie.
New study reveals that US-backed coup in Bolivia was based on lies
The blatant lies and hypocrisy of the US have been exposed with the publication of a new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This shows there was no fraud in Bolivia’s presidential election last October. The real fraud has actually been committed by the Trump administration. The notion that the US intervenes in countries around the world to promote ‘democracy’, ‘human rights’ or ‘freedom’ has once again been exposed as a total sham. In Bolivia, democracy has been overturned with the backing and material support of the US government, because the people elected the ‘wrong’ president. The truth is that Evo Morales is the legitimate elected President of Bolivia. He won the election in October 2019 by a large margin in a free and fair contest.

Bolivie: un nouveau coup dur pour l’impérialisme américain
Le président bolivien Evo Morales, dont le gouvernement a veillé à l'amélioration du niveau de vie et à la réduction spectaculaire de la pauvreté pendant son mandat, a été réélu.
