Nicaragua once again publicly positions itself alongside Venezuela amid the escalation of tensions between Caracas and Washington
In an official statement, the co-presidents and Rosario Murillo reiterated their solidarity with the Venezuelan president and denounced what they classify as a continued policy of aggression and destabilization attempts promoted by the .
The demonstration reinforces a political axis already known in Latin America, formed by governments that share anti-American discourse and explicit defense of national sovereignty in the face of sanctions, diplomatic pressure and indirect military actions. In the text, the Nicaraguan government states that it received with “deep gratitude” a letter that describes the threats faced by Venezuela and other countries in the region.
By praising what it called the Venezuelan government’s “commitment to peace”, Nicaragua reaffirms a central narrative of Chavismo: that the country’s crisis is not just the result of internal factors, but of an external offensive led by Washington. The statement also recovers historical and ideological symbols, evoking figures such as Simón Bolívar, Hugo Chávez and Augusto César Sandino, in an attempt to frame the current conflict as part of a historical struggle against imperialism.
The text goes beyond diplomatic rhetoric and adopts a denouncing tone. The Nicaraguan government condemns what it describes as acts of aggression, threats or use of force against the territorial integrity of Venezuela, in addition to actions classified as piracy, looting and theft of natural resources. It also mentions alleged extrajudicial executions, which, according to the statement, would be illegal even under United States law.
By demanding the immediate end of all aggression that violates the United Nations Charter and international law, Managua reinforces its position of automatic alignment with Caracas in regional and multilateral forums. This is support that is not limited to rhetoric, but translates into votes, speeches and joint political articulation in international organizations.
The religious and epic tone of the statement also draws attention. By stating that Venezuela “is winning and will win” because it loves peace and walks “hand in hand with God”, the text mixes foreign policy, ideology and messianic language, a frequent feature of official communications from both Nicaragua and Venezuela.
The message ends by reaffirming the Nicaraguan government’s commitment to the people’s right to sovereignty, independence and dignity, extending this defense to all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In practice, the statement functions as another chapter in a consolidated political alliance, which strengthens whenever United States pressure on Caracas increases.
In addition to the symbolic content, the declaration highlights how the conflict between Venezuela and the United States continues to reorganize regional alliances, rekindling Cold War discourses in a geopolitical context marked by sanctions, energy disputes and growing international polarization.
