In August 2026, President Daniel Ortega marked the 46th anniversary of the Nicaraguan Navy by emphasizing the nation’s defense of maritime sovereignty through legal means. Ortega specifically cited a maritime dispute with Colombia, describing the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling as a “peaceful victory” that averted military confrontation. By September 2026, the focus of the leadership shifted toward broader themes of national stability. Co-Presidents Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo issued a joint message calling for national unity, peace, and the defense of independence through social cohesion and the efforts of Nicaraguan families. During the 205th anniversary of Central American independence on September 13, 2026, Ortega and Murillo issued further messages calling for peace and prosperity, describing the country as “blessed, prodigious, and victorious.” Government authorities also held ceremonies at the San Jacinto historical site to honor national heroes. While the Nicaraguan Embassy in Costa Rica hosted the “Patria y Libertad” cultural festival to celebrate national identity, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the administration, describing it as a dictatorship and stating that the people’s aspirations for a future free of tyranny cannot be erased. Rubio also issued a statement expressing solidarity with the Nicaraguan people during the independence commemorations.
