*The People’s Health Movement global statement of solidarity with the
people of Nicaragua: *

The People’s Health Movement (PHM) expresses its solidarity with the people
of Nicaragua, with the student movement, the youth, the elderly, the
pensioners and all those who are fighting for a dignified Social Security
system and for the right to live in a democratic country,  and against
anti-popular
economic measures, the control of the media, the destruction of the
environment by extractive industries, and the potential construction of the
inter-oceanic canal by a Chinese company with high economic and social
costs.



We are deeply moved and mournful for the dead, wounded, disappeared and
detained, and we call for:

•         The Government of Nicaragua to stop the violence by the National
Police and the Sandinista Youth

•         The impressive Nicaraguan popular mobilization to continue
denouncing and fighting peacefully for their demands.



There can be no social transformation if popular mobilization is repressed
and the legitimate protest of people is criminalized. Dialogue and direct
communication among all sectors is fundamental for the peace and
understanding to prevail.



Our heart is with the people of Nicaragua.



*On behalf of the PHM global Steering Council*
