33-A Translation of Document '33

The following is a transcription of sorne notes on the meeting of the Socialist International Committee for the Defense of the Revolution in Nicaragua, held the 25th of this month of June in Managua. This meeting is the second held by the Committee. The first took place on December 6, 1980 in Washington.

The Committee was officially created on the initiative of Willy Brandt, at the XV Congress of the Socialist International held in Madrid last November; it consisted of the following members: Willy Brandt, Bernt Carlsson, Bottino Craxi, Michael Foot, Felipe Gonzalez, Michael Barrington, Anker Joergensen, Bruno Kreisky,Michael Manley, Francois Mitterrand, Olof Palme, Jose Francisco, Pena Gomez, Carlos Andres Perez, Michel Rocard, Pierre Schori, Mario Soares, Malevi sorsa, Joop den Uyll, and Hans-Juergen Wischnewski.

Attendees at this meeting in Managua included Bernt Carlsson, Secretary General of the Socialist International: Felipe Gonzalez, chairman of the Committee; Carlos Andres Perez of Accion Democratics; Pierre Schori of the Swedish Social Democratic Party; and Michael Harrington of the DSCC of the United States, all members of the Committee. The absence of one of the West Germans proved to be very significant, since it undoubtedly reveals the intention of the SPD to moderate its actions vis a vis the Central American situation and to give its Latin American administration within S.I. a low and less conspicuous profile with developments in that region. Attached is a letter sent by the International Secretary of the SPD to International Secretary of the Austrian Social Democratic Party on the occasion of this meeting.

U.S. pressures and the difficult domestic situation experienced by the SPD explains in good part the West German caution toward the Nicaraguan Revolution. From the bilateral contacts developed with the participants, the document which was approved, and the development itself of the meeting, we considered:

1) In general, two tendencies were observed among the participants. One, led by Felipe Gonzalez and Carlos Andres, with open, neutralizing objectives, assuming positions of relative pressure interested in clearly expressing the limits of ·S.I. 's solidarity· with Nicaragua, and stressing that the support of S.I. is to the democratic and pluralist political project. This faction reflected fears of the course which, in their judgment, the process was taking, and especially of what they called the supply of Cuban and Soviet arms; in short, concern over the ·Cubanization· and "Sovietization" of the process. This tendency, quantitatively, was in the minority, but, qualitatively, carries the most weight. The other faction did not give much attention to these considerations

IXX:UMENT33A 33A - 1

and in general showed understanding and interest in getting to know objectively the difficulties of the process, joining in censuring the U.S. as the most responsible for the situation in Nicaragua and denouncing the lurking dangers in the process. On this side could be found Pierre Schori, Jim Fulton, of the New Democratic Party of Canada, Antonie Blanca, of the French Socialist Party, among others.

2) From the point of view of the objectives that the FSDN proposed for the meeting, in our opinion, they were accomplished. The dangers and risks of the process were recognized in the Declaration approved by the Committee and s.r. support was voted for the ·Nicaraguan democratic and pluralist policy· project. On the other hand, the public declarations formulated by the majority of the participants were generally positive, but showed to sorne degree the apprehensions of sorne factions with the current direction of the process.

3) The contradictions and tendencies within s.r. were highlighted insofar as how to deal with the policy toward Nicaragua and, in general, the attitude to assume toward the Latin American situation. U.S. pressures on the S.r. and its parties, the difficult and complex international situation and the course being followed by the processes in the region, determine that the most right-wing factions in the heart of the s.r. adopt a position of conciliation and moderation, and propose to avoid that the s.r. continue to behave as it has been up until now, without renouncingthe strategic objectives of influencing the direction of the Central American and, in particular, the Nicaraguan processes with clear neutralizing proposals.

4) With this meeting the s.r. has made clear the limits of its ·solidarity· with Nicaragua, and in fact its right-wing factions proposed to exert pressure and direct influence on the course of the Revolution. This is not a case of the s.r. strategically varying from its policy toward Nicaragua, but rather demonstrates, to the highest degree possible, caution and discretion, and it will watch very closely the next steps in the Revolution. Finally, we attach a copy of the interview that Bayardo Arce had with Felipe Gonzalez and Carlos Andres, before the meeting started, which clearly reflects the veiwpoint of the right-wing positions in the S.r.

With revolutionary best wishes [signedlManuel Pineiro Losada

33A - 2

Conversation Between Bayardo and Carlos Andres and Felipe Gonzalez

Carlos Andres and Felipe indicated that they were absolutely convinced of the dangers, threats, and pressures which were being exerted on Nicaragua, principally by the U.S., and the difficult situation which the process is experiencing. That precisely what the U.S. wants to do is harass Nicaragua, pushing it into a radicalization of the process, and thus giving itself a pretext and evidence for implementing military aggression.

Both were worried that the Sandinista junta would fall into this trap and play into the hands of the U.S. and that, in their judgment, it was already doing so; therefore, the Sandinistas must take into account that reality and not let themselves be provoked. So it becomes absolutely indispensable that the revolutionary project be kept within the democratic and pluralistic guidelines, and that this was the condition for maintaining the support of S.!. They indicated that they (the social democrats) were in a very difficult situation, undergoing strong and continuous attacks and pressures from the U.S.; they added that the absence of the Germans at the meeting was a clear example of that difficult situation.

They stressed that it was urgent that a minimal platform be drawn up which protects the relationship of social democracy with the Nicaraguan process and that they come to sorne understanding. That to continue the trend toward closeness with the Soviet bloc, it would be very difficult to sustain the present position of solidarity.

Referring to steps which could be taken by the sandinistas, Carlos Andres suggested a decrease in the Cuban presence. Both mentioned the concern over the Soviet presence and in particular the tanks. They requested that Bayardo set up a meeting for them with the whole National Junta to bring up all of these questions and as well as others outside the framework of the meeting of the S.!.

Bayardo summarized the difficulties and problems which theyfaced, emphasizing that they (the Sandinistas) were not the ones who had closed doors, and that if all the roads were closed to the Revolution, they would have to go where they could get help; that the revolution has to guarantee its right to continue to exist and defend itself.

Regarding the tanks and weapons, Bayardo went over the problem, questioning why so much was being made of that problem when nobody was saying anything about the English tanks which were entering Honduras. In sum, he did not categorically deny the matter, but neither did he confirm it.

33A - 3

Referring to the previously alluded to Cuban presence, Bayardo wondered what Cuban presence was being talked about, adding that he had just returned from Havana where he went to convince Fidel to quickly replace the contingent of teachers which will soon leave since 60,000 children will be left teacherless, and 2,000 are needed, although up until now no one, no country has offered to send any except Cuba. Bayardo argues the plan of Cuban operation with Nicaragua along these same lines.

He also said that the Sandinistas understood perfectly the situation faced by social democracy and even understood that at a given point in time the social" democrats would cease to support the revolution; but he also asked that the alternatives be considered.

Insofar as the meeting that was requested with the full National Junta, Bayardo evaded the issue, citing reasons of workload, although, in one of the meeting's sessions, participants had the opportunity to engage in a direct interchange with the members of the Policy/Political (1) Commission (Bayardo, Humberto Ortega, and Wheelock).

Letter Sent By Hans Eberhard, International Secretary of the German Social Democrat party, to his Counterpart Walter Hacker, ol the Austrian Social Democrat Party and Representatives of Bruno Kreiskyin the Committee Meeting

Bonn, June 19, 1981 Professor Walter Hacker lnternational Secretary of the Austrian Social Democrat Party

Dear Walter:

Regarding Nicaragua, 1 have to inform you that neither WillyBrandt nor Hans-Juergen Wischnewski will be able to attend the meeting of the S.l. committee for the defense of the Nicaraguanrevolution to be held in Managua on June 25. Neither, unfortunately, will Klaus Lindenberg nor l. We will explain this directly to our Nicaraguan friends. At any rate, we have asked our colleague Butterbach to act as an observer in the discussions and meetings.

Willy Brandt wrote Felipe Gonzalez and gave him his and our opinions on certain things which have taken place in Nicaragua. You should also read this letter.

33A - 4

l hope that you agree with me that our solidarity with the revolution cannot be interpreted by sorne Sandinista colleagues as carte-blanche for whatever they do. For many reasons our assistance not only politically but also morally cannot be interpreted as if it were in only one direction.

I suppose you know of the last internal struggle in the Sandinista movement, with the Ortega brothers enmeshed in a desperate battle against those who advocate the hard-line policy considered by many to be supported by Arce, Wheelock and Borge.

With more than normal interest, I would like to read your reportand to know if l should go to Stockholm or meet you halfway on your return from Managua.

With respect to the trip of our friend Marten Van Traa and others to Uruguay and Argentina, l expect that everything is going well. 1 wrote to Marten and asked him to be careful and prudent because the real Argentinian situation is full of complications; sorne government circles will certainly be thankful that a dialogue has been started with our political forces in Europe as long as we do not upset their national pride.

Regarding the meeting of the S.l. Committee on Latin America and the Caribbean to be held July 25 in Grenada, we question, for obvious reasons, the rationale and decision to hold this meeting on that island; it could be interpreted by sorne as a provocation. 1 hope that our Salvadoran friends are not the ones to suffer most because of this.

Best Wishes Hans Eberhard

We believe that the impact oí these .ituatione can be e1early

observed, with respeet to tb. Congress, ~ exam1 n1 rg two oí its

l. Openins speeeh oí the Congress, 4e1ivered by the ~sident

Pelipe Gonzalez, where reíerence is aade to the ineonven1ence

varioua pretexta.

If to al1 the atore~entionea e1ecents Ye add the info~8tion about
