Nicaragua recalled its ambassador from Argentina

Daniel Ortega’s dictatorship announced this December 4 the recall of Nicaragua’s ambassador to Argentina, Carlos Midens, in anticipation of the upcoming inauguration of the South American country’s new president, Javier Millay.

Millay is a far-right politician who unabashedly questions socialist regimes like Ortega’s.

“In the face of the installation and takeover of a new government in the Republic of Argentina, the inauguration on December 10 and the continuous statements and revelations of the new rulers, the Government of Unity and National Reconciliation of Nicaragua has proceeded to recall its ambassador, co-author and communicator, Carlos Maitens,” Foreign Minister Denis Moncada said. A signed press release said.
