Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega has broken off diplomatic relations with the Holy See after Pope Francis described Ortega’s regime as a “Hitlerian” dictatorship.
ROME — Sunday that Nicaragua’s Sandinista government has verbally communicated a “suspension” in diplomatic relations, expressly alluding to the pontiff’s recent declarations.the Vatican’s nuncio to Nicaragua, Archbishop Waldemar Stanislaw Sommertag, and since March 2022 Senegalese Monsignor Marcel Mbaye Diouf has been in charge of the Vatican diplomatic mission in Nicaragua as chargé d’affaires. He has reportedly been given a week to leave the country.
“With great respect, I cannot help but think of an imbalance in the person who leads,” he said of Daniel Ortega. “There we have a bishop in prison, a very serious man, very capable. He wanted to offer his witness and did not accept exile.” “Since when do they have the authority to speak of democracy?” Ortega said last September. “Who elects the priests, the bishops, the pope, the cardinals? How many votes? Who gives them to them?”
Nicaragua’s most recent diplomatic representative to the Holy See is Yara Suhyén Pérez Calero, who served until this weekend as counselor minister in the Vatican.
