Former Director General of Immigration, Avila Ramírez, said that it has no power to grant to any foreign diplomatic passport.

“The law does not empower the President at any time, or the Coordinating Council of Citizen Power, the Foreign Minister of the Interior or the Director of Immigration to issue a diplomatic passport to any alien, or anyone other than those under the legislation governing the matter, “he explained.

The President and those who participated in the issuance of a diplomatic passport acted outside the law, ignoring the rule of law, violating the principle of legality and could even be considered a crime. ”

Ramirez said that “it seems that we are returning to the 80’s and our country once again news is negative and thus, instead of encouraging investment, what you are doing is putting our country as a reference that drives away investment .

The former Defense Minister also explained that the use of the diplomatic passport is a privilege granted to sovereign states in terms of office held by public officials or have a country.

He mentioned that in the case of Nicaragua Ministerial Agreement number 50-2005, approved on 3 June 2005 by the National Assembly and published in Official Gazette number 134 of July 12, 2005, in an article does not mention that some foreign may be entitled to a diplomatic passport.

“This means that in this legislation is clearly defined who may or may not enjoy the privilege of a diplomatic passport,” he stressed.

For that reason, he continued, “the president should instead of giving diplomatic passports to fugitives from justice and criminal suspects, worry for the thousands of Nicaraguans who have no identification card, both those who suffer from it in the country as a the thousands of Nicaraguans abroad who by law are entitled to this document. ”
