Argentina’s new foreign policy begins to take effect even before the inauguration of Javier Miley as president. Nicaragua has announced that it is withdrawing “with immediate effect” its ambassador in Buenos Aires.
“In the face of repeated statements and expressions of the new rulersthe Government has proceeded to recall its ambassador, fellow writer and communicator, Carlos Midence,” wrote the Nicaraguan Foreign Minister, Denis Moncada, in a letter published this Monday.
Managua’s reaction comes after the right-wing ultraliberal Milei decided do not invite a Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela e Iran to the inauguration presidential of this next domingo.
Although Milei assured during the electoral campaign that brought him to the Casa Rosada that he was not going to maintain diplomatic relations with “socialist and communist” governments, such as those of Brazil and China, the truth is that the future foreign ministerDiana Mondino, has personally invited to the presidents Lula da Silva y Xi Jinping to the ceremony.
The situation is different with Managua, Caracas, Havana and Tehran, four countries that do not influence Argentine exports at the fundamental level that Brazil and China do, but which Milei also considers dictatorships.
In the case of Iran, there is the fact that the Argentine justice system considers it proven that its government organized the attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 and the Jewish mutual AMIA in 1994, in which 107 people died.
