Mexico Upholds Non-Intervention Policy in Nicaragua Vote


(MENAFN) Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum defends her government’s decision to abstain from a vote at the Organization of American States concerning Nicaragua, saying the position reflects Mexico’s constitutional commitment to self-determination and non-intervention.

“It is a matter of self-determination,” said Sheinbaum.

The OAS Permanent Council approves a resolution calling for an urgent meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the political situation in Nicaragua.

The proposal receives support from 29 countries, while Brazil votes against it and Mexico chooses to abstain. Haiti and Venezuela do not participate in the vote.

During the session, Mexico’s representative to the OAS, Alejandro Encinas, also explains the government’s position, saying “Nicaragua’s internal situation does not constitute a threat to hemispheric peace or security,” according to reports.

Encinas argues that Mexico does not see sufficient justification for convening a ministerial meeting on Nicaragua, particularly without a clear understanding of what potential measures could be imposed on a country that is no longer a member of the OAS.

The Mexican government maintains that its decision is consistent with its longstanding position against external interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
