The United States’ interim representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), Bradley A. Freden, asked the agency for “different answers” following the occupation of its office in Nicaragua by the country’s security forces.
“We cannot shrug and look the other way,” Freden said at the latest meeting of the OAS Permanent Council, which discussed the occupation of the building at the request of the organization’s secretary-general, Luis Almagro.
Without going into details, the American warned that the organization should not be afraid to “apply the rules” in cases like Nicaragua’s, which will remain bound by its obligations until 2023, after requesting his departure from the OAS last November. .
The condemnation of the occupation of the property was unanimous among the members of the organization.
“It is an insult to all of Latin America,” said Secretary General Luis Almagro. For the Uruguayan, Ortega’s government decision to seize the building, which will house a “museum of shame”, sets a dangerous precedent in the region.
Along the same lines, Uruguay’s permanent representative to the OAS, Washington Abdala, warned that the path taken by the Nicaraguan authorities “has no end”.
