Colombia opens disciplinary investigation of its ambassador in Nicaragua for affinity with Sandinismo

The Colombian Attorney General’s Office announced on Thursday a disciplinary investigation against the Colombian ambassador in Nicaragua, León Fredy Muñoz, who was criticized for participating on July 7 in a march related to the 44th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution.

The diplomat was present at a mobilization “in favor of the revolution that overthrew President Anastasio Somoza Debayle” and used “symbols of the Sandinista National Liberation Front during his tour,” he said in a press release from the Delegate Attorney for Second Instruction for Administrative Surveillance.

The document also indicates that the Attorney General’s Office will investigate the circumstances of time, manner and place of the statements made by the ambassador, in which he told the local media that the Nicaraguan is “a happy, beautiful, friendly people and above all convinced of his revolution. I am pleasantly surprised.”

The control body also emphasized that León Muñoz will be able to give his free and spontaneous version of the facts, if requested, to guarantee the right to defense.

The Colombian Foreign Ministry would have called Muñoz for consultations about his presence in official activity and summoned him last Wednesday in Bogotá to give explanations, according to local media.

in the face of criticismthe ambassador wrote, through his social networks that “given the efforts of the Embassy and the relations of the protocol between governments, it is my obligation as ambassador, to participate in meetings and / or important activities for the Government.”

Muñoz participated on Friday in an act in the city of León, north of Managua, on the eve of the anniversary, but critics learned of the images of his participation in the event on Monday, through the national media. It should be remembered that Colombian President Gustavo Petro has rejected the Nicaraguan government’s measures on past occasions.
