Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega blasted his critics, who requested him to account for the destiny of million dollars received under an oil supply agreement with Venezuela and used discretionarily.

Last Sunday, Ortega called "people's foes" those who queried about the revenues from the Venezuelan oil granted by means of a permissive loan, reported on Monday newspaper El Nuevo Diario.

The Nicaraguan Comptroller's General Office ordered last week to audit Nicaraguan state-owned oil company Petróleos de Nicaragua (Petronic) in order to learn about the management of the funds resulting from the oil received by Nicaragua as a member of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA).

Ortega explained that due to the ALBA membership, Nicaragua had oil and energy available, allowing for low-cost urban transportation.
