OAS approves urgent foreign ministers meeting on Nicaragua crisis
The Organization of American States (OAS) Permanent Council has approved a resolution to convene an urgent meeting of foreign ministers in Washington, D.C., to address the political crisis and institutional deterioration in Nicaragua. The resolution, spearheaded by the United States, passed with 29 votes in favor, one vote against from Brazil, and one abstention from Mexico.
The meeting aims to evaluate potential actions regarding the Nicaraguan government's plan to implement constitutional reforms. These reforms would reportedly exclude opposition figures from future elections and extend presidential terms. The OAS resolution invokes Articles 61, 62, and 63 of the OAS Charter, which are typically reserved for significant regional emergencies.
In response, Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo criticized the international pressure, labeling opponents and critics as 'mercenaries' and 'traitors.' Meanwhile, the Mexican government expressed its support for dialogue and peaceful solutions, choosing to abstain from the vote to prioritize diplomacy and respect for national sovereignty.
