Managua, November 20, 2024. Through a statement issued on November 19, the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity of Nicaragua denounced and rejected an “outrageous bill passed by the United States House of Representatives that, under the name of Bolívar, seeks to insult the memory of the Liberator while attacking Venezuela’s sovereignty.”

The statement declared: “In the face of this new outrage by the imperialists of the Earth, in the face of their audacity to touch Bolívar with their vile hands, we, the Peoples who know them, who condemn them, and who can see in their infernal thirst for more war and terrorism, their decline and their end, declare ourselves united in Permanent Vigil, courageous as we are, from a History where they can never identify us as subjects.”

Nicaragua also repudiated “these agonizing death throes of those who have destroyed the world” and expressed unwavering solidarity with the shared struggle of these two brotherly nations, both members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).

On the other hand, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, expressed gratitude for Nicaragua’s support, sharing a message on Telegram:

“I appreciate the words of support and solidarity from Brother President Daniel Ortega, Vice President Rosario Murillo, and the noble Nicaraguan people. Yankee imperialist infamy has not and will never prevail over Venezuela or the free peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. The name and eternal legacy of our Giant Bolívar and Commander Chávez must be respected. The Great Homeland will always triumph! United at all times and in all circumstances!”
