A letter signed by Foreign Minister Denis Moncada arrived ClarionDaniel Ortega’s dictatorship announced on Monday that it had withdrawn its ambassador to Argentina, Carlos Medines.
The minister also explained that he is doing so in protest against Javier Miley’s rise to power.
“In the face of repeated statements and expressions from the new rulers, the government (…) proceeded to withdraw its ambassador and fellow writer and speaker Carlos Medenes,” Foreign Minister Moncada wrote in his letter.
From the “repeated statements of the new rulers” in Argentina, the liberal is understood to have warned several times that he would not establish relations with “communist governments.”
The warning was qualified by him and his future advisor Diana Mondino in certain cases. For example, Both the president-elect and his minister-designate invited the presidents of Brazil and China, Lula da Silva and Xi Jinping, to attend the presidential inauguration on Sunday.
instead of, They did not invite the presidents of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Iran, whom the LAF leader publicly views as dictators.
Meanwhile, it is not known what will happen to the Argentine embassy in Managua as well as those in Havana and Caracas. All of them are occupied by the political ambassadors of Alberto Fernández, who finish their mission on Saturday the 9th, the last day of the outgoing administration.
In Managua, they placed Daniel Capitanich, brother of the Chaco governor, Jorge “Cookie” Capitanich. In Cuba, there was leader Luis Ilaregui, and in Caracas, Oscar Laborde, who to this day continues to campaign in his networks and in the Chavista media against Together for Change and President-elect Miley.
Although Mondino has said his intention is to retain the ambassadorial position in those three capitals to “help” internal groups struggling for democracy — unlike in the case of Iran, where engagement continues at the charge d’affaires level — it is unknown. If the Latin American regimes in question would agree to a standard agreement for the head of embassy requested by Miley, even if he is of diplomatic origin.
