Remarks by Rosario, Co-President of Nicaragua
after hand over of the Sandino Nuevo Amanecer Hospital to the Families of Bilwi
February 23rd 2026
Beloved Families, beloved Nicaraguan Families, this hospital is the best demonstration of what Nicaragua’s People are capable of... A Brave People that fills us all with pride... A Dignified People, a Free People... The People of our General Sandino!
This hospital was being built with financial support from a European country, and when the coup attempt sought to destroy Nicaragua they said, we not building it, we’re not financing it.
I remember our CompañeroValdrack met with the representatives of that Country. The Ambassador, as it happens, was also afrodescendant, with black skin, of black race, and Valdrack asked him: You, who are a black, aren’t you ashamed to take away funding for a hospital for the indigenous population, the afrodescendant population, the native population of this country. Well, they didn't fund it.
But the People of Nicaragua are above any of this human wretchedness. And we were able, on our own, to continue building it, step by step. Therefore, it is a great Pride, it is a demonstration of the Quality, Capacity and Strength of our People... Spiritual Strength, like that of our General!
What did Sandino teach us? Always Further On! That is to say, it is always possible to achieve more and more Triumphs for the Well-being of our People, which is what we do every day, every day delivering Works, be they small, medium or large; Works that are of the People and for the People.
Because without the strength of our People, we could not produce works like this, advances like this. It is the Heroic People of Nicaragua manifesting itself in all these Works of Progress, which are for the self-same Families of Nicaragua’s Heroic People, Heroic Families.
And as our Comandante Daniel said, we have a lot to commemorate, many Lives to celebrate, those Lives that inspire us. And as we always say, our Victories are a reflection of our Magnificent History.
We will be going to Monimbó. We will be going to San José de las Mulas. Every day celebrating those gigantic beacons of Freedom, of Strength, of Fortitude, of Certainties; because we are capable of transcending, of making our own way, of working and of overcoming, under all circumstances.
And the most important thing is that all these Victories have been, are and will be Victories of Peace, Victories of Concord, of the ability to engage with each other, of the ability to live together, of the ability to build the Future that we Nicaraguans deserve.
A People that is of Peace, a People that is of Light, of Life, of Truth, a People that deserves the best, the Glory and More and More Victories.
A big embrace to everyone there in Bilwi; a huge embrace to the Young People; to the Health workers, to the Minister, all who are over there, to the Authorities there, a huge embrace.
This Sandino Nuevo Amanecer Hospital describes us, illustrates who we are, shows us what we are, shows us the Nicaraguan Soul, Glorious, Honorable, Victorious, by the Grace of God!
Warm embraces to all our Families today when we celebrate this New Triumph, and tomorrow others and still others that will undoubtedly come, because they are the Triumphs, the Fruits of Security, Work, Peace and Faith that is Love of the Nicaraguan People and among us as a People and as Nicaraguan Families.
This week, on Thursday we will be in Monimbó and on the 28th we will be in San José de las Mulas. A People that has such a history, a People that has such a Memory, how could it not advance, how could it not cultivate and conquer the Better Future that we so very much deserve...
Thank you very much, Compañeras and Compañeros.
