The government of Nicaragua, through its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Denis Moncada, announced yesterday the withdrawing of Nicaragua from the Organization of American States (OAS) as a result of the organization’s interference in the country.
“We are announcing that Nicaragua is expelling the Organization of American States from our country.The people and the Government have denounced and continue to denounce the shameful conduct of one of the political instruments of intervention and domination of the Department of States of the United States, wrongly called the OAS”, declared Moncada.
The Foreign Minister detailed that according to the decision taken on November 19, 2021, where the exit from the OAS was announced, the country will not participate in any event promoted by that organization, “by confirming our irrevocable resignation, we also communicate that as of this date we cease to be part of all the deceitful mechanisms of this monstrosity including the Permanent Council, Commissions, Meetings, Summits of the Americas,” he added.
“We withdraw the credentials of our representatives, the comrades: Orlando Tardencilla, Iván Lara and Maicol Cambell, we will no longer have a presence in this diabolical instrument (…) Neither will this infamous organization have offices in our country. Its headquarters have been closed. Nicaragua is not anyone’s colony”, the Nicaraguan minister stated.
At the same time, Moncada asserted that the OAS does not contribute to the union of the region, nor does it respect the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples, “we have disowned this instrument of colonial administration that does not represent the sovereign union of our Caribbean America and is really only a Yankee instrument to violate rights and independence, sponsoring interventions and invasions, legitimizing coups d’état in diverse modalities”, he added.
“We reiterate our respect, affection and recognition of Cuba and Venezuela, as well as to the peoples who wage their struggles and have accompanied us (…) We now feel free from the repeated insolence of the employees of the Yankee State Department who represent servility, lackeyism, surrender, and the decadence of an institution reduced to servitude to the Yankee”, Moncada pointed out.
