The Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry made a statement after confirming that the OAS will discuss on Wednesday "the situation of the country," for which they requested respect for sovereignty and self-determination

Managua, October 19 (RHC)-- The Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry has issued a statement after confirming that the OAS will address the "situation of the country" on Wednesday.  Nicaragua calls for respect for sovereignty and self-determination.

The statement on Monday rejects interference actions orchestrated by the Organization of American States (OAS), which threaten national sovereignty.

"We do not accept to discuss or judge the acts of sovereignty that the Nicaraguan people, in exercise of their fundamental rights to live, according to our laws and social norms", added the Foreign Ministry of the Central American country.

"It is inadmissible that other States, in open violation of the principle of self-determination of peoples and non-intervention in the internal affairs of other Nations, judge another free people.  Therefore, we reject this illegitimate meeting from its conception, and we will not participate in it."

The Nicaraguan Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that its request in addition to being in accordance with the United Nations Magna Carta, is also a guarantee for its Constitution, which establishes independence, sovereignty and national self-determination.

"Any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Nicaragua or any attempt to undermine those rights is an attempt against the life of the people.  It is the duty of all Nicaraguans to preserve and defend these rights," explains the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with respect to the provisions of its constitutional framework.

In view of the November 7th general elections to be held in Nicaragua, the OAS has begun to discuss the issue where the democratic model of the country is questioned, similar to the behavior assumed with Bolivia, which triggered a coup d'état against the then President Evo Morales.
