But we cannot allow our lives to be run by fear. When fear takes over the Goddess of Justice and Wisdom is enslaved. Autonomy is not integration. One culture assassinates the other. Cain and Abel's Biblical story repeats itself.
Assassination becomes a legitimate means to establish differences b etween peoples.
It is often glorified in peoples' songs and legends. Autonomy must definitely not become a melting pot. Autonomy is a process for building a new national identity nourished by cultural diversity. Autonomy is a tool that the peoples of the Pacific and the Atlantic must use to build a better Nicaragua, a united Nicaragua, a Nicaragua in which the principle of democracy is the fundamental guide for political, economic, and social conduct. Autonomy is the instrument that all the peoples of this land o f lakes, volcanoes, and tropical humid forests must use to build the strong and creative multiethnic identity stipulated in the Constitution, both the old and the reformed of 1995.
