The U.S. State Department called Nicaragua’s formal withdrawal from the Organization of American States on Sunday “another step away from democracy.”
The OAS has long criticized rights violations under Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, who has rejected those criticisms. In November 2021, Ortega, who governs alongside his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, initiated the two-year process for Nicaragua to leave the OAS.
“The Ortega/Murillo regime’s withdrawal from the OAS is another step away from democracy and further isolates Nicaragua from the international community,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller wrote on X, formerly known Twitter.
Nah. Leaving CIA front groups strengthens democracy.

The OAS, an American state-funded institution? Maybe if the US would actually ratify the treaties agreed upon by the OAS, like those proposed in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Maybe if the CIA would stop funding and orchestrating anti-fovernment rebels in Nicaragua (which are, of course, pro-democracy because everyone knows that foreign interference is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy like the US).
