The writer is a strong critic of the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, who accused him in September 2021 of allegedly carrying out “acts that promote and incite hatred and violence” and for having received money from the Violeta Barrios de Chamorro Foundation (FVBCH). , issuing an arrest warrant against him. The regime also prohibited the circulation of the novel “Tongolele did not know how to dance”, which portrays the events of 2018 in the country.

Ramírez cataloged that attack against him as “laughable”, since he considers that the charges against him were “taken from the sleeve, from the magician’s hat”.

In September 2021, former Costa Rican presidents Óscar Arias, Rafael Ángel Calderón, Laura Chinchilla, José María Figueres, Abel Pacheco, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez and Luis Guillermo Solís sent a letter to Congress in which they request “that it honor the fight for freedom and declare Sergio Ramírez as an honorary citizen of Costa Rica and as a holder of Costa Rican nationality.”
