The regime of Daniel Ortega withdrew the credentials of its representatives before the Organization of American States (OAS), Orlando Tardencilla, Iván Lara and Michael Campbell, and announced the closure of the organization’s offices in Managua, calling it an “instrument of Yankee imperialism.”
The decision was made known through a statement read by Foreign Minister Denis Moncada this Sunday, April 24, five months after Nicaragua announced its withdrawal from the OAS.
“We ratify our invariable decision to leave the OAS, as expressed on November 19, 2021, and by confirming our irrevocable denunciation and resignation before this calamitous, truculent and lying dependency of the State Department of Yankee imperialism.”
“As of this date we cease to be part of all the deceitful mechanisms of this monstrosity, call it the Permanent Council, call it commissions, call it meetings, call it the Summit of the Americas,” he added.
Moncada, supported by the now ex-representatives Campbell and Lara, maintained that the country will not have a presence in any of the organization’s instruments, which he called “diabolical.”
The OAS “plagued with insults, offenses, indignities, calamities and aggressions,” the foreign minister continued, in tune with the violent speech of spokeswoman Rosario Murillo.
