The deputy dictator of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo, called the European Union (EU) a “liar”, and accused it of breaking with the democratic mechanisms that govern that transnational organization, for having announced a “consensus resolution” against the federation of Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and to maintain that war for more than a year.
This Tuesday, July 18, almost at the end of the Summit of the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), the organizers of the conclave announced that they had reached a resolution condemning Russia for its invasion war in Ukraine.
The EU is made up of 27 countries and CELAC by 33. All supported the resolution, except Nicaragua, which was left alone supporting Russia. Even the other two dictatorships friendly to Putin, Venezuela and Cuba, signed the resolution.
The announcement of the approval of the resolution against Russia irritated the Nicaraguan dictatorship, which is shown to be Putin’s subject, and immediately issued a statement through the Foreign Ministry, signed by the foreign minister, Denis Moncada, rejecting the agreement.

In his daily address, through the official propaganda media, Murillo allowed himself to go against the Europeans and even seemed to want to give them democracy classes.
“Our Government informs our people and the international community that it did not sign, approve or support what was announced today pompously and falsely as a consensus declaration of the third summit. We do not sign, we do not approve, we do not support that resolution,” Murillo insistently reiterated.
In the midst of his annoyance, Murillo, who co-chairs a dictatorship that has suppressed all the human rights of Nicaraguans and has annihilated democracy in the country, tried to teach democracy to Europeans.
«The European Union, as it usually does, has broken all the procedures and mechanisms established by democratic organizations. It has gone over one of the rules that base the operation of our entities »complained the vice-tirana.
Murillo blamed the EU for having presented “as a consensus statement of the third European summit”, a document that “has no consensus since Nicaragua neither signed it, nor approved it, nor accompanied it.”
“We are, therefore, facing a breach of the rules on the part of the European Union. We denounce it and report it, distancing ourselves from a fact that, for us is difficult to understand, not to say embarrassing, that the European Union grants itself the right to determine non-existent consensus,” Murillo attacked.
