I. Que Nicaragua, junto a los demás países del istmo centroamericano fueron seriamente afectados por los graves daños humanos y materiales que provocó el Huracán Mitch a su paso por nuestros territorios. II. Que los efectos devastadores provocados por el Huracán Mitch repercutirán negativamente en los procesos productivos regionales, en especial en lo que respecta al sector agrícola, perjudicando, principalmente a la población campesina. [...] IV. Que dada la magnitud de los efectos provocados por este desastre natural, se hace necesario flexibilizar las políticas migratorias beneficiando a nacionales de nuestros vecinos centroamericanos.
