SOUND BITES: FORMER PRESIDENT OF COSTA RICA, LAURA CHINCHILLA (IN SPANISH).TRANSLATIONS: We are only six weeks away from the consolidation of a North Korea-style dictatorship in the heart of the Americas, in Nicaragua.

It will happen in a broad daylight, after three resolutions of the United Nations and more or less 8 resolutions of the OAS Permanent Council and General Assembly. It will happen after 12 years of clear democratic decay in that country.
