Falso consenso en la Declaración Final de la III Cumbre CELAC-UE
The vice president of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo, highlighted the position established in the official communiqué addressed to Nicaraguan citizens and the international community in general.
We did not sign, we did not approve, we did not accompany, it is not true that a consensus declaration was issued there, there was no consensus,» said the Nicaraguan vice president.
It also reaffirmed that inaccuracies are being made known, «that pompous and deceitful announcements have been made, presenting as the Consensus Declaration of the III CELAC-EU Summit, a document that has no consensus, since Nicaragua neither signed it, nor approved it, nor accompanied it».
Murillo clarified «that in CELAC, by sovereign decision of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, all decisions ar taken by consensus, therefore, we are facing a breach of the rules on the part of the European Union. We denounce it and inform you, taking away from a fact, which for us is difficult to understand, if not embarrassing, that the European Union, granted itself, the right to determine non-existent consensuses».
Europe must understand that we are no longer a colony of any power
In the message delivered through the representative of Nicaraguan diplomacy, Denis Moncada, Nicaragua considered that «the governments of the countries of the European Union must reflect and act in good faith with a vision of the present and the future, taking into account the Human Beings of Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean and other Regions, who yearn for Peace, Shared Security, Stability, Progress, Sustainable Development, Respectful Relations without Interference and Global Peaceful Coexistence».
