Remarks by Rosario, Co-President of Nicaragua,
after the Event Commemorating the 47th Anniversary
of the Air Force and Anti-aircraft Defense Force of the Nicaraguan Army
July 31st 2026
Good evening, Compañeros and Compañeras. Extraordinary and formidable the address by Comandante Daniel! I don't want to add anything, because I think that whole Idea of Strength, of Conscience, of Fortitude, should remain between us.
He has given us a lesson in history, but also on the Heroism from which we all come... Heroism, Fortitude, Conscience.
When he was talking about how our Air Force takes to the skies every day, in the midst of great difficulties, what did we think of? For that is the Indefatigable and Indomitable Character of all our People. That's to whom he expresses himself. A Heroic, Courageous People, a People that has been able to face all challenges, at all Times, and to advance Victorious and Proud.
I think about the journey on which he took us along our Paths, where we have come from, where we are going, and in these Times in which we build Peace, we protect Peace, every day, we know that this enormous Spirit we have, the determination, the conviction, the decision to build Peace, taking us on into the Future.
Because this is a world where wars have been imposed on the world’s Peoples; but in Nicaragua we have always fought and continue to fight for Peace, and we have given our lives for Peace.
Hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguans have given their lives for Peace, so that from Peace, to which we have the Right as a Human Family, we can escape the Poverty that has been imposed on us: Poverty of Soul, Poverty of Mind.
When one sees some individuals expressing themselves there, in what they call Social Networks, one says: How shameless! In any case, how miserable they look. How they are ashamed to appear naked, like the person who thought he was King and thought he was wearing fancy clothes, when he was naked, and the little boy said, The King is naked.
Those people, those, whom we already know what they are, traffickers of Honor, traffickers of Souls and traffickers of National Decorum and Dignity, those stand naked. The only thing covering them is their selfishness, their greed, their avarice, and their servile convictions and condition as servants and, above all, of looking for easy pickings, because they sell out the Nation and believing they are going to do big business. Their owners don't even give them crumbs. They are being pitied there... Receiving pity!
On a day like today, when we not only celebrate the Honor and Glory of being Nicaraguans and of striving for Peace, we also thank God for having a Great Soul, having an enlightened, clear Mind, and by being clothed, strengthened by Love, Love for God above all things, and Love for each other, loving each other. As always, I conclude these interventions, calling on us all to be True Christians.
Just now, I saw some satire, some mocking, hurtful slanders from those people who claim to be defenders of the Churches, attacking the Ecclesial Authorities, for the simple reason that they are not beaming at them so as to appear in their photograph. That is the creeping condition of those who love neither Nicaragua, nor their own families any more! They are stateless. They have no Nation!
And from this Proud, Great, Victorious Patriotic Nation, where we sow Peace and Dreams every day, Peace, Work, Stability, Security, every day, in this Nicaragua of ours we are not only Blessed, but we know that our great Blessing is the Conscience of each one of us, which has been forged from our Sacred Beliefs, our Practices, our Faith, and also by everything we do every day to strengthen it, and to live as Good Christians, as Brothers and Sisters, always seeking the Common Good. Always Further On as well, Compañeras and Comapñeros, Let us Go Onward!
We wish a happy holiday to all the municipalities that are celebrating, Managua today, Managua tomorrow, but here there are celebrations every day. And what does that show? That Ours is a Joyful People, who know how to celebrate and who know how to defend their Right to live in Peace and Joy, in Peace, in a Patriotic Nation and in our Future!
Warm embraces, Compañeras and Compañeros.
