The Embassy of the Republic of Nicaragua in Venezuela, through a wreath-giving ceremony to the Liberator Simon Bolivar, in the National Pantheon of Caracas, commemorated this Monday the Day of Nicaraguan National Dignity.

The protocol ceremony was chaired by the Minister Counselor of the Embassy of Nicaragua, Omara Orozco; and the Director General of the Office of the Deputy Minister for Latin America, Irene Rondón. In addition, representatives of the Diplomatic Corps attended.

Every May 4th, Nicaragua commemorates the historic refusal of General Augusto C. Sandino to sign the “Black Hawthorn Pact” in 1927, against the United States intervening troops that were in the Central American country.

In this sense, during the Sandinista Revolution (1980-1990), May 4 was declared National Dignity Day, in memory of that act of patriotism and dignity by Sandino, who together with his men faced the most powerful army in the world in an anti-interventionist war that lasted seven years (1927-1934), until he was cowardly assassinated on February 21, 1934.
