Horrified by the Nicaraguan government’s authoritarian actions, the international community has condemned the decision to declare 94 opponents “traitors to the homeland”, stripping them of their nationality and disqualifying them from holding public office for life. Most of those sanctioned live in exile, including the writer and former vice president of Ortega’s first term (1985-1990), Sergio Ramírez, and the poet and writer Gioconda Belli.
The United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, said he was “alarmed” by the decision and reminded that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes that everyone has the right to a nationality and that no one should be arbitrarily deprived of it. The Chilean Foreign Minister, Antonia Urrejola, pointed out that “every day more (Nicaragua) is a totalitarian dictatorship, where any type of dissent is persecuted”. The PEN Club International also showed its solidarity with Ramírez and Belli, who reacted by posting lines from her poem “Nicaragua” on Twitter.
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) condemned the sanction against Vilma Núñez, the human rights activist who is still in Nicaragua, and the others affected, and pointed out that it is “a clear attack against civil society and human rights defenders”.
Former Uruguayan President José “Pepe” Mujica said that Ortega’s hand “lost a while ago”. The journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, founder of the digital newspaper Confidencial and son of former President Violeta Barrios (1990-1997), considered that the measure illustrates the “authoritarian radicalization” of the government and shows that “for many years Nicaragua ceased to be a society governed by law and the Constitution” to a country where “the law of revenge and hatred prevails”.
