Daysi Torres was dismissed as of Friday, March 27, without explanations from the Ortega and Murillo regime.
14ymedio (EFE), San José, March 28, 2026 – The Government of Nicaragua, led by spouses and co-presidents, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, revoked this Friday the appointment of former Managua mayor Daysi Ivette Torres Bosques as Nicaragua’s ambassador to Cuba, a position she held for less than two months, the Official Gazette La Gaceta reported.
Through presidential agreement number 42-2026, the co-rulers annulled the appointment of Torres Bosques as extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of the Republic of Nicaragua to the Government of the Republic of Cuba, to which she had been appointed on February 3, 2026.
Her move from Caracas to Havana took place four weeks after United States forces captured Nicolás Maduro
“This agreement takes effect as of March 27, 2026,” Ortega and Murillo indicated in the document, which does not explain the reasons for that decision.
Torres Bosques, who was mayor of Managua for two consecutive terms (2009–2018) and also vice mayor of the Nicaraguan capital (2008–2009), had been serving as ambassador to the Government of Venezuela since March 21, 2023, when she was transferred as Nicaragua’s representative in Cuba.
Her move from Caracas to Havana took place four weeks after United States forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a military operation in Caracas and then transferred them to a prison in New York, where he faces drug trafficking charges.
The governments of Nicaragua and Cuba have been close political allies since the Sandinista Daniel Ortega returned to power in 2007.
