The postponement of the meeting of foreign ministers is assumed as a new rejection of the postulates of the Managua dictatorship. This time, the regime took care that the names were not leaked to avoid complaints from human rights defenders and the opposition, but it was of no use.
The position assumed by the four countries that decided to reject the Nicaraguan candidates provoked a virulent reaction from the Sandinista Executive.
He issued a communication signed by Foreign Minister Valdrack Jaentschke, but due to its style and content it is notable that it was written by Murillo; in which he attacks the Guatemalan, Costa Rican, Panamanian and Dominican governments.
In the communication, the Ortega-Murillo administration presents to the member countries of SICA “the most energetic protest against the insolent and disrespectful attitude” of the governments of Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and the Dominican Republic, which it accuses of ignoring “the independence and sovereignty of our countries in evident servility and extra-regional interests.
Likewise, the official communication indicates that “they reject those inappropriate features of our culture and fraternal duties in this world where ignorance and irresponsibility are leaving so much backwardness and painful occurrences for peoples who, like ours, cry out for the right to live safely, calm and advancing against imposed poverty.
