Spain extends the offer of nationality to another 94 stateless Nicaraguans

The offer to give Spanish nationality to another 94 Nicaraguans is added to the one made on February 10 by President Pedro Sánchez, to the 222 people expelled from Nicaragua and whose nationality was withdrawn by order of the government of Daniel Ortega


The Spanish government extended the offer of Spanish nationality to the 94 Nicaraguan citizens who have just been declared stateless by the judicial authorities of their country, including the human rights defender Vilma Núñez and the writer and politician Sergio Ramírez.

The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, has reported of this offer to Ramírez himself, who in turn has addressed a letter to the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, as reported this Friday by the Ministry in an official statement reviewed by the agency efe.

This offer is in addition to the one made on February 10 by the Executive of Pedro Sánchez to the 222 people expelled from Nicaragua and whose Nicaraguan nationality was withdrawn.

The proposal of the Spanish Government is extended “to any citizen of Nicaragua who in the future may be left stateless due to the decisions” of the Executive of Daniel Ortega.

On February 9, the Nicaraguan authorities expelled the United States a group of 222 political prisoners for “traitors to the homeland”, including seven people who tried to challenge Ortega for the presidency of the country last year and five priests, who were disqualified for life from holding public or elected office.

In addition, on the 15th, the Nicaraguan authorities stripped another 94 Nicaraguans of their nationality, among them religious, diplomats, former state officials, human rights defenders, Sandinista dissidents, opponents, journalists, academics, students, businessmen and merchants.
