The dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo reacted angrily and with a strong claim to the presidents of the region against what they denounced as a “usurpation” of the General Secretariat of the Central American Integration System (SICA) by an “Executive Directorate” who is accused of attributing functions that only correspond to the secretary general, a position claimed by the Managua regime.
Through the official propaganda media, the vice dictator of Nicaragua and government spokesperson, Rosario Murillo, reported that they have sent a letter to the presidents and chancellors of the member states of SICA denouncing and rejecting the “usurpation” of the General Secretary. .
«In that letter we tell you that our Government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the minister is the one who writes, greets the brothers in the government and chancelleries of the SICA countries, in reference to an offensive communication, sent yesterday from the so-called Directorate Executive, so called, a very strange way to represent that SICA who is headless,” said Murillo.
In her typical speech devoid of any diplomacy, the vice-dictator refers to a communication circulated by the member states by the Executive Directorate of the organization requesting an analysis of the work agenda and budget for next year.
«The General Secretariat of SICA is headless, however, there is a so-called Executive Directorate and that letter signed by that Executive Directorate communicates and requests the governments of the SICA countries to analyze a proposed work agenda and a budget project, listen carefully , budget of a General Secretariat that does not exist because it is headless and they want agendas and budgets to be analyzed from an administrative direction that does not correspond, according to all SICA regulations,” said Murillo.
The General Secretariat of SICA has been vacant since November of last year when the general secretary for Nicaragua, Werner Vargas, resigned surprisingly, in an apparent maneuver by the Managua dictatorship that sought to impose one of its political operators in that position, however, To date, the member states have not accepted the Sandinista proposals, which have nominated officials accused of crimes against humanity.
The Nicaraguan regime, through presidential decree 19-2024, published this week in La Gaceta, approved the entry of ships, aircraft and foreign military personnel, arguing “exchange purposes and mutually beneficial humanitarian assistance in case of emergency situations.” » for the first half of 2025.
The decree specifies that they will authorize the entry of 180 troops, ships and aircraft of Russian origin, and another 180 from Venezuela. These will participate in activities that will include training and exchange in “humanitarian aid operations, search, rescue and rescue missions in emergency situations or natural disasters” and others related to combating “illegal crimes in areas of the Caribbean Sea and jurisdictional waters of the Pacific Ocean.” of Nicaragua.
Russia and Venezuela were the only ones that the Ortega regime authorized for “exchange of experiences and operational communication with ships and aircraft of the Nicaraguan Army in tasks of confrontation and fight against drug trafficking and transnational organized crime.”
The persecution perpetrated and sustained by the Ortega-Murillo regime against the Catholic Church is getting worse in Nicaragua. The parishioners are now also repressed by not allowing the presence of priests to anoint their sick within the country’s public hospitals.
Lawyer Martha Patricia Molina, researcher on religious persecution in Nicaragua, through her social networks, denounced that “nothing remains normal” in the country.
He pointed out that in the last week a priest had to go into exile as a result of the police persecution that was imposed on him by Ortega, and that in “hospitals they are prohibiting the entry of priests so that they can carry the Holy Oils for the anointing of the sick.” .
