Bush urges allies to denounce
fraudulent election in Panama
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Bush urged U.S. allies Tuesday to
denounce “massive election fraud”
anticipated in Panama’s presidential
voting Sunday, saying, “It is time for
the plain truth.”
In particular, Bush called on Euro
pean democracies to raise their
voices against alleged election-rig
ging by Panamanian strongman
Manuel Antonio Noriega to ensure
the victory of his figurehead candi
date, Carlos Duque.
“Let me be clear,” Bush said.
“The United States will not recog
nize the results of a fraudulent elec
tion engineered simply to keep Nori
ega in power.”
Bush made his remarks in a speech
at the State Department before the
Council of the Americas, an organi
zation of businessmen with interests
in Latin America.
The address marked another step
in the United States’ year-old failed
campaign to force Noriega from
power following his U.S. indictment
on drug-smuggling charges. Fearing
that Noriega will steal Sunday’s elec
tion, the Bush administration is
trying to discredit the outcome.
“It is evident that the regime is
ready to resort to massive election
fraud in order to remain in power,”
Bush said. “The Noriega regime
continues to threaten and intimidate
Panamanians who believe in democ
racy.
“It’s also attempting to limit the
presence and freedom of action of
international observers and to pre
vent journalists from reporting on the
election process in Panama,” said
Bush, who has not yet announced the
makeup of the U.S. observer team.
“All nations that value democ
racy . . . should speak out against
STAYING HERE THIS SUMMER?
SO ARE WE!

election fraud in Panama,” Bush
said. ‘‘And that means the democra
cies of Europe, they should be speak
ing out about this-” .
He said, ‘‘It is lime for the plain
truth: the day of the dictator is over.
The people’s right to democracy
must not be denied.”
"Let me be clear.
The United States
will not recognize
the results of a
fraudulent elec
tion engineered
simply to keep
Noriega in power.'
-Bush
In Panama^Maj. Edgardo Lopez, a
spokesman for the pro-Noriega Pana
manian Defense Forces, said the
opposition has been demoralized
“and they know they are going to
lose the election.
“They have sent an SOS to the
White House, ‘Urgent. President
Bush to take immediate action or
Noriega will stay,”’ Lopez said.
Touching on developments in
other nations of the hemisphere,
Bush accused Nicaragua of enacting
restrictive laws to thwart the opposi
lion sn elections next February
“The result is a stacked deck
against the opposition and staeba
rules of the game,” Bush said
Setting out guidelines by which
the United States will judge whether
Nicaragua’s elections are free Bush
said the government must allow out
side observers to have free access to
all election places and proceedings
“It means a secret ballot on elec
tion day, the freedom to campaign to
organize, to hold rallies and to poll
public opinion, to operate independ
ent radio and TV stations as well ”
Bush said.
“It means the absence of intimi
dation either from a politicized
Sandinista military or police, or from
those neighborhood block commit
tees that control peoples’ ration
cards,’’ he said. “It means an end to
the arrests and bullying of opposition
leaders.”
Bush called on the Soviet Union
to end its support of the leftist
Sandinista regime.
“The Soviet Union must under
• stand that we hold it accountable for
the consequences of this intervention
and for progress toward peace in the
region and democracy in Nicara
gua,” the president said.
Bush said that Paraguay “is on its
way to joining the democratic main
stream” following the presidential
election Monday of Gen. Andres
Rodriguez.
