Ortega answers questions about alleged political pact. Journalist Marcio Vargas from El Nuevo Diario published a lengthy interview with Daniel Ortega last week. The first question, not surprisingly, dealt with the pact that Ortega has allegedly hammered out with Arnoldo Aleman. Ortega said that one cannot make comparisons between what is happening now and the infamous pacts of this century, particularly the Somoza-Aguero pact of the early 1970s. The fact is that Somoza disappeared from this country with the revolution of 1979.
