The Supreme Court of Justice of Nicaragua urged Ortega to leave the OAS

The agreement responds to the resolution of the Nicaraguan National Assembly, approved on Tuesday with 83 votes in favor, to reject the OAS agreement to ignore the results of the recent presidential and legislative elections in which Ortega was the winner with 75% of the votes.

“On November 16, the legislative power of the Republic of Nicaragua issued declaration 5 of 2021, condemning the repeated interference actions of the OAS. Said declaration asks the other powers of the State to pronounce upon this act of interference,” the declaration of the judiciary.

The magistrates’ agreement is protected by article 1 of the Constitution, which considers independence, sovereignty and self-determination as inalienable rights of the nation.

“Any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Nicaragua or any attempt against the life of the people. It is the duty of all Nicaraguans to preserve and defend these rights,” the statement details.

The Nicaraguan sub-office before the Central American Parliament (Parlacen) also asked Ortega to denounce the OAS letter as it considered it to interfere and downplayed the impact of the recent US sanctions.

Congress had recommended that Ortega withdraw the country from the OAS, in response to the decision of the body’s General Assembly to ignore the elections.

With 83 votes in favor and 0 against, Congress urged the president to “denounce the OAS Charter,” explained the head of the legislature, Gustavo Porras, during the plenary session.

Reporting the Charter implies withdrawing from the body, although this step involves a series of formalities that make an eventual departure not immediate.

The United States ordered on Tuesday to prohibit the entry into the country of Nicaraguan officials, including Ortega and his wife and vice president Rosario Murillo, due to the exclusion of the recent electoral process and subsequent imprisonment of businessmen and owners of foundations, classified by the authorities of the Central American country as foreign agents.
