The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo canceled the appointment of Wilfredo Jerónimo Jarquín Lang as its ambassador to Cuba, who had assumed the post on January 6 and is now the fourth ambassador to the island to be ousted in less than six months.
Jarquín’s dismissal was made official through the publication of Presidential Agreement 74-2022, published this Thursday, May 12 in La Gaceta, the official newspaper, which does not explain the reasons that the president had for annulling the appointment of the ambassador in Havana. .
The regime also did not disclose who will succeed Jarquín in office, as it did four months ago when he relieved the retired colonel. Reynaldo del Carmen Lacayo Centeno.
NEW RECORD! In 6 months Nicaragua has had 4 ambassadors in Cuba: Wilfredo Jarquín, Reynaldo Lacayo, Sidhartha Marín (12 days in office), Luis Cabrera (12 years). It has been a historical relationship and today it is hysterical. It seems that even Havana has asked the regime for moderation in human rights

Lacayo Centeno, who was chief of staff of the Fourth Military Command and military attaché in Mexico, had replaced the advisory minister for policies and international affairs of the Presidency, Sidhartha Francisco Marín Aráuz, who only lasted 11 days.
Marín Aráuz, who has been Nicaragua’s permanent representative to the UN and ambassador to Ecuador, had succeeded the Nicaraguan nationalized Argentine journalist Luis Cabrera González in office on November 26.
Cabrera González had been the Nicaraguan ambassador in Havana since 2007, when Ortega returned to power and reestablished diplomatic relations with Cuba.
