A few days before the fourth anniversary of the civic rebellion of April 2018, the Blue and White National Unity (Unab) reported that the members of its Political Council have held meetings with groups of Nicaraguans abroad.
The meetings were held with the aim of “maintaining and invigorating a permanent political communication channel” and to agree on “joint ways” to continue denouncing the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo at the international level.
In the meetings, which began on Friday, April 8, the members of the Political Council addressed the current situation in Nicaragua from the perspective of National Unity and agreed on “joint ways to maintain the denunciation against the regime at the international level.”

“The Nicaraguan communities abroad raised their main concerns around two issues: the steps that are being taken to achieve the unity of the Nicaraguan democratic opposition and the need to strengthen organic ties with the UNAB,” the note states.
According to a press release from the opposition group, the Nicaraguan communities “play an important role in the fight against the dictatorship, especially in their work denouncing the repression and human rights violations by the Ortega-Murillo regime and in the search for greater international pressure on the regime, through lobbying in various world forums and before democratic governments».
The meetings of the National Unity last weekend were held with groups of Nicaraguans in Canada and the United States; Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and Germany, among others. “Similar meetings with Nicaraguan communities in Latin American countries are planned in the coming days,” he said.
The international denunciation has been one of the key points that has led the Ortega-Murillo regime to be unknown by more than 40 countries in the world after the last presidential elections in November 2021.
The Organization of American States (OAS) approved a resolution criticizing the results, stating that the votes “were not free, fair or transparent and lack democratic legitimacy.”
