In a statement, the member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) rejected the new aggression of the European Union (EU) against Nicaragua, by extending illegal unilateral coercive measures against institutions of the South American nation.

Below is the full text of the document:

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) strongly rejects the decision of the Council of the European Union to extend illegal and arbitrary unilateral coercive measures against senior officials and institutions of the Nicaraguan State.

This action constitutes an affront to the dignity of a people that, inspired by the legacy of General Augusto C. Sandino, exercises their legitimate right to live in peace and to build their own project of social justice, without external interference.

The ALBA-TCP confirms its unrestricted solidarity with the heroic people of Nicaragua, with its Co-Presidents, Commander Daniel Ortega and Compañera Rosario Murillo, as well as with all the unjustly attacked senior officials. These sanctions, an anachronistic expression of colonialism and supremacy, are added to the military deployment of the United States in the Caribbean and are part of an interventionist agenda that seeks to criminalize and isolate the sovereign governments of Our America.

Faced with this new aggression, the ALBA-TCP reaffirms that Nicaragua is not alone and demands that the European Union lift such interventionist measures, which cause serious damage to the well-being of the Nicaraguan people. United in brotherhood, the peoples and governments of our Alliance will continue to defend self-determination, peace and Latin American and Caribbean integration, convinced that no imperial power can subdue the spirit that unites us in the fight for true independence.
