"All political actors--especially the Government of Nicaragua--should do their utmost to avoid an escalation of violence."

"If confirmed, I will urge the Nicaraguan Government to immediately cease its repression and release those who have been arbitrarily detained."

"The best solution for Nicaragua is a peaceful one."

"Sustainable solutions can only be found through early, free, and fair elections with international observation, through which the Nicaraguan people can freely decide their nation's destiny."
