Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega speaks during Independence Day celebrations, in Managua, Nicaragua, on Saturday September 15
NICARAGUA’S Sandinista government demanded the resignation of Organisation of American States (OAS) secretary general Luis Almagro today after he called for intervention in Nicaragua and Venezuela.
In a statement sent to the Morning Star, the Nicaraguan government warned that Mr Almagro’s declarations “constitute a serious threat to international peace and security and a very serious violation of the most fundamental principles of international law.”
The call for him to resign as head of the OAS came after a speech Mr Almagro gave in the Colombian town of Cucuta last week when he said: “Regarding a military intervention to overthrow the Nicolas Maduro regime, I think we should not rule out any option.”
