Ortega dismissed Valdrack Jaentschke from February 28, according to the presidential agreement of the official newspaper, at that time the Presidency did not inform who would occupy his position. His “decapitation” took place 24 hours after the same dictatorship stripped him of his position as Minister Counselor with consular functions of the Nicaraguan Embassy in the Catracho country.
It was not the first time that the regime removed the diplomat from his positions, since more than 20 times he has been removed. These “moves” of the Nicaraguan regime at the international level have been more constant since the beginning of 2022, after the fourth presidential inauguration of Daniel Ortega.
