“With the message that you have spread today in Nicaragua, you and the government of Mexico place yourself in an interfering and meddling position, complying submissively and faithfully with the Yankees, serving them in the role that you have sadly been assuming, as permanent interveners in our own affairs, commissioned by the Empire ”, said the letter published on the official website El 19 Digital.

The text of the protest does not specify which publication Cabrera made or whether the malaise of the Managua government was caused by a retweet by the diplomat to a letter from Ramírez, whom the Prosecutor’s Office accuses of “inciting hatred” and receiving money from the Violeta Foundation.

The text exhorted Mexico to comply with its Estrada doctrine of non-intervention and discontinue “that unfortunate, unhappy and unhappy path of tricks and vanities, of servility and lackeyism, of fights that deny their own history,” he added, to conclude with the slogan : “Nicaragua is neither sold nor ever surrenders”.

In an interview Thursday night with CNN in Spanish, Ramírez said that the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry’s text is “a most violent letter.”

“Ambassador Cabrera retweeted my message about the persecution of which I am being a victim and that caused this virulent attack, inconsiderate and foul in language, of the Ortega dictatorship against the government of Mexico,” he commented.

Ramírez, who left Nicaragua in June for health reasons and now fears to return, said that despite not being a candidate or political leader, he is threatened with jail and repressed as a writer.

In this regard, he denounced that his most recent book, the novel “Tongolele did not know how to dance,” is being held at Nicaraguan Customs. “They do not allow it to enter Nicaragua and it will be prohibited in Nicaragua,” he protested.
