He stressed that he has admired this award “because it has been given to very important poets in Latin America; So I feel in illustrious company with Ernesto Cardenal, Claribel Alegría, Gonzalo Roja, Rafael Cadenas».

“Happy to be Nicaraguan”

Referring to the stripping of her nationality, together with more than 300 citizens, the writer, recently nationalized Chilean, stated that she felt very happy “because this award is given to a Nicaraguan, since Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo will never take away my nationality.” .

«In that sense I feel very happy to say that I am Nicaraguan; I have won this award as a Nicaraguan,” added the poet, who pointed out that the award is dedicated to Nicaragua “which is my source of inspiration, my country that I always carry in my heart, a portable country that is always with me.”

Referring to the attacks by the Ortega dictatorship, the 74-year-old writer affirmed that the repression will continue “because this is a dictatorship that is very afraid of the Nicaraguan people and that the only way it feels it can control and maintain its power is scaring us and repressing people.”

«What is clear is that they – the Ortega regime – have a deep weakness and need to be showing their repressive muscle, for this reason I salute the Catholic Church; I am very sorry for what is happening to them (…) I really believe that the discrediting work that the government of Rosario Murillo and Daniel Ortega is trying to do with the Church is unfortunate”, he concluded.
