Speaking via “Citizen Power” media outlets, the leader stated that the decision was officially communicated to the leadership of the Central American Parliament (Parlacen) in an exercise of national sovereignty, while respecting the authorities and parliaments that still maintain membership in that regional body.

“We are left watching—as the children’s riddle goes—letters coming and going, crossing the sea without stopping. Unfortunately, those letters coming and going do not represent what we all need and want: agreements to improve the lives of our peoples, our families in every locality, and our countries,” she noted.

Co-President Murillo stressed that Nicaragua will continue to advance its relations with the peoples and states of Central America, with the aim of building mechanisms that address the needs of families and foster a more harmonious regional future.

In a statement, the Nicaraguan parliamentary delegation expressed its full support for the Sandinista Government’s sovereign decision to denounce the treaty establishing Parlacen and other political bodies. “Our caucus will continue to act with responsibility, discipline, and unity, always defending the sovereignty, self-determination, and interests of the Nicaraguan people,” reads the document signed by the Nicaraguan deputies and alternate deputies to the regional body.
