Remarks by Rosario, Co-President of Nicaragua,
after the Central Event Commemorating the 131st Anniversary
of the Birth of General Augusto C. Sandino
May 18th 2026
These are days of Glory, days of Victories, days of Light, as our Comandante Daniel said, today is a Day of Light, Sandino arrived, Sandino arrived to us as Dario arrived to us; and they have filled us with that stellar luminosity which I can only explain to myself as a supernatural gift from Our Lord God, who loves Nicaragua and who loves the Nicaraguan people.
I ask myself: Don't those who wander around looking for ways to do harm feel shame? Shame, for we are a strong, free Country full of Spirit, shame for wanting to hurt this Country of ours, where, as we have said, They Could Not Prevail! Nor Will They!
And for us, a combative people, the People of Sandino, the People of Darío, the People of Zeledón, the People of Rigoberto, the Nicaraguan people, by the grace of God, we are here sharing these spaces with so many vivacious young people, which means they are full of Spirit, full of Spirit, building the Future for everyone.
We are all Sandino! We are all Daniel! We are all that great Nicaraguan Spirit! We know about Struggles, we know about Honor, we know about great challenges, but what better example than that of Sandino, who knew how to face the most powerful Army on the planet at that time, and win, and triumph, and eject them from this Patriotic Nation that cannot be violated again. Nicaragua is inviolable! We are filled with the Strength, the Blessing and the Hand of God, the Hand of God that guides us.
There are those who believe that we should not mention God. Someone suggested somewhere that we are being sacrilegious, one of those who are looking for how to hurt us all, full of anger, hatred and probably envy, because they are not here, because they could not prevail.
Of course, we should talk about God! What would we be without God, and what would become of us if we did not have that Strength God has given us enabling us to overcome? A force, as we said, that is supernatural. Superior gifts that this People has received as we make our way.
How many times they have wanted to hurt and destroy us, and then there appears the Great Power of God inspiring and enlightening and filling us with the Strength we need to overcome, and to continue to overcome.
Today a hospital, yesterday a new highway, and tomorrow there will be other Victories for the Well-being of our People, because we are committed to working against poverty. While others are full of hatred, we are full of Christian, Socialist and Solidarity inspired Love, and we know that with Love everything can be done. Hatred, Never Again!
As we have said, those wanderers abroad hate, they stopped loving Nicaragua, and they are traitors, as the song says; traitors who insist on defamation and discredit. But here are the True Truths, here is this Youth, here is this People, here are the Mothers, the Women of this People, and we all know that We are Going Onward, because God blesses our steps, God guides us and fills us with Strength, that Spiritual Strength which, as we said, is supernatural.
We have here the Strength that is beyond nature, because the Great Power of God manifests itself, we classify it as supernatural Strength. Like Sandino, he is a supernatural historical fact, like Darío, as Comandante Daniel said, and everyone who came from the bosom of the oppressed, from those undefeated races of our Nicaragua.
Let us Go Onward... The struggles continue, the challenges continue to be faced with courage, and the greatest challenge is for Love to prevail and that from Love we continue to build the Future. Warm embraces Compañeras and Compañeros
