1.  (C) SUMMARY:  The Nicaraguan Resistance Party's (PRN) 
internal problems continue.  The Supreme Electoral Counsel 
canceled internal PRN elections, citing irregularities and 
internal struggles.  There is a serious rift between PRN 
president Salvador Talavera and vice president Julio Blandon. 
 The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) hopes to 
gain control of the PRN by supporting Blandon and to finance 
an independent PRN campaign in Nicaragua's northern 
departments to divide the Liberal vote.  END SUMMARY. 
 
CSE Cancels PRN's Convention 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
2.  (SBU) In a June 25 meeting with Poloff, Luis Fley, 
Director of International Relations for the PRN, lamented 
that the PRN's internal problems continue to worsen (reftel). 
 The PRN, which has tried for nearly a year to convene a 
party convention to elect new leadership, had their June 24 
convention canceled on June 20 by the Supreme Electoral 
Counsel (CSE) due to irregularities and in-fighting. 
Although frustrated by the cancellation and the further delay 
in holding party elections, Fley commended the CSE for acting 
quickly and correctly to avert further problems.  In fact, in 
the weeks prior to the elections, Fley asked PRN President 
Salvador Talavera to cancel the convention after discovering 
irregularities in the list of convention participants. 
Talavera refused. 
 
PRN Talavera Changes Convention Participants 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
3.  (C) Talavera unilaterally substituted approximately 120 
of the 476 names on the convention list -- including 15 of 
the 17 PRN executive committee members -- with neither board 
nor membership approval.  By doing so, he effectively removed 
them from their elected positions.  Because convention 
attendees are elected party members, they cannot be replaced 
without a convention vote.  In the weeks leading up to the 
election, Fley, a candidate for the PRN party presidency, had 
repeatedly asked Talavera for a copy of the list to review 
the convention attendees, but Talavera stalled.  Upon seeing 
the changes made to the list, Fley immediately asked Talavera 
to delay the elections and denounced Talavera's tampering to 
the CSE. 
 
Vice President Holds Mini-Convention 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
4. (SBU) In defiance of the CSE's order, PRN vice president 
Julio Cesar Blandon (commandant Kaliman) held a parallel 
convention on June 24 in which he was elected president. 
According to Fley, no more than a few dozen Blandon-loyalists 
attended, insufficient to legitimize his election.  The 
results were further negated by the CSE's refusal to 
recognize the election due to their earlier letter 
prohibiting the PRN's convention.  Fley and other PRN leaders 
have petitioned the CSE magistrates for a new convention 
date.  They hope to meet with the CSE representatives this 
week to discuss the matter. 
 
A Story of Betrayal 
- - - - - - - - - - 
 
5.  (C) Fley explained that Blandon's decision to hold a 
parallel convention was caused by a serious rift with 
Talavera, dating back to September 2006 when Talavera very 
publicly signed a "peace accord" with then-presidential 
candidate Daniel Ortega.  Talavera signed this agreement 
without the approval of either the PRN executive committee or 
the membership.  Expecting Talavera's treachery lay at the 
heart of the conflict, poloff was surprised to learn, 
instead, that it was a fight over the spoils of Talavera's 
deal.  Fley stated that Talavera received six trucks, 24 
motorcycles, and $180,000 to divide up between himself, 
Blandon, and several other PRN members.  However, as the lead 
instigator, Talavera kept everything for himself and his 
family. 
 
PRN - Tool to Further Divide the Liberals 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
6.  (C) With the PRN leadership divided and Blandon looking 
for a way to get even with Talavera, the FSLN, reported Fley, 
offered to sponsor Blandon's convention to topple Talavera. 
Although Talavera has been an FSLN ally, Fley believes the 
FSLN has grown tired of Talavera's public whining about its 
failure to deliver on campaign promises and wants him out of 
the picture.  In addition, Talavera angered Lenin Cerna, one 
of President Ortega's most trusted confidants, by breaking up 
with Cerna's daughter after a several-month romantic 
relationship in which Talavera had allegedly promised to 
marry her. 
 
7.  (C) Further, and more importantly, Fley opined that the 
FSLN was privately trying to buy Blandon's allegiance without 
ruining his public image and credibility within the PRN (the 
way Talavera's was ruined through his deal with Ortega). 
Maintaining the image of credible leadership in the PRN is 
critical to the FSLN, emphasized Fley, because it wants to 
use the PRN in Nicaragua's northern departments -- the base 
of the party's strength -- to compete with the Nicaraguan 
Liberal Alliance (ALN) and Liberal Constitution Party (PLC) 
for Liberal votes.  Fley stressed that if Blandon wins the 
PRN elections, the FSLN will finance an independent PRN 
campaign to divide the Liberal vote. 
 
Comment 
- - - - 
 
8.  (C) The PRN continues to flounder, wracked by internal 
bickering and financial problems.  The organization's 
official charter expired in April of 2006, and although the 
CSE has yet to take any official action to close the party, 
the possibility looms in the background.  As a political 
figure, Talavera has been completely discredited and has 
alienated himself from both the Liberal and Sandinista camps 
through his constant scheming.  While Fley and others 
continue to struggle to unify the party, he is keenly aware 
that the PRN remains vulnerable to influence and manipulation 
as evidenced by the FSLN's financing of Blandon's parallel 
convention.  As a result, Fley is desperate to convene a 
convention to purify the party's leadership and re-energize 
the bases prior to the 2008 elections.  Fley assured us that 
most PRN leaders and members remain committed to the alliance 
with the ALN in 2008.
