Update on This Campaign from Our European Partners! Nicaragua Will Be Respected! The U.S. debt to Nicaragua

May 4th in Nicaragua: Dignity, Sovereignty, and a Historical Debt That Remains Unsettled

“…From Europe, the Committees, Collectives, and Associations in Solidarity with the Sandinista People’s Revolution have decided to embrace this cause as part of our internationalist commitment. In 2025, we launched the campaign “Nicaragua Must Be Respected,” precisely on May 4th itself, with the aim of making this outstanding debt visible and demanding that the United States comply with its obligations.

“Therefore, we call on the entire solidarity movement with Nicaragua to join this demand (nicaraguaserespeta@ces-rps.com).”

FROM THEIR FULL STATEMENT FROM MAY 4, 2026:

“May 4th occupies a central place in Nicaragua’s political consciousness.

That gesture marked a turning point: it established that national dignity is not negotiable.

“This recognition has neither been improvised nor recent. May 4th has been declared the “Day of National Dignity” at different stages in Nicaraguan history, reflecting its enduring political importance over time….National dignity implies the active defense of sovereignty against any form of foreign interference.

“Within this framework, one of the strongest elements of contemporary Nicaraguan political discourse is the ongoing demand regarding a historical debt arising from the armed intervention and destabilization actions carried out by the United States. This demand is based on the 1986 ruling of the International Court of Justice, whose resolution remains unfulfilled….”
