During the act dedicated to the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that favors Nicaragua over the dispute with Colombia, Daniel Ortega, the illegitimate president of Nicaragua, took advantage of a few minutes to once again attack the bishops of the Catholic Church, whom he again called “false priests and whitewashed tombs.”
In addition, he compared the religious leaders with Judas and Cain, who according to the Bible, both characters betrayed their neighbor out of greed and envy.
«We know that the road is always full of obstacles, and we have the best example in the veneration of Holy Week. Who do we worship? We worship Christ. And how terrible the martyrdom of Christ! How terrible! How they slandered him and how they slandered him, and how the false priests, yes, the false priests whom he called “whited sepulchres”, he called the false priests “whited sepulchres”, are the same ones who are always looking to do harm”, Ortega said, alluding to religious leaders.

The dictator of Nicaragua, who is singled out for ordering the murder of more than 300 Nicaraguans during the civic rebellion of April 2018, assured that the leaders “are the Judas and they are the Caines, they are the ones who ultimately celebrated the martyrdom of Christ, they are the ones who finally applauded the kiss of Judas».
«They are those who believed that because Christ is being martyred and they took him to Calvary, torturing, in the middle of the cry fed by the Pharisees and then on the cross, how terrible; but then Christ was resurrected, and that is what the peoples have, the peoples even in the greatest difficulties are resurrected, the Nicaraguan people have been resurrected after terrible wars », he added.
Since 2018, as a result of the anti-government protests, the Nicaraguan regime has been characterized by offending and defaming Catholic leaders, who have taken it upon themselves to “raise their voice” against the injustices, outrages, human rights violations perpetrated for the dictatorship.
General Julio César Avilés, head of the Nicaraguan Army, First Commissioner Francisco Díaz, head of the sanctioned Police, Gustavo Porras, president of the National Assembly, and Foreign Minister Dennis Moncada Colindres, were present at the ceremony presided over by the presidential couple. .
