Nicaragua blasts Vatican after exiled bishop's TV appearance

The Nicaraguan government criticized the Vatican after Bishop Rolando Álvarez's interview with EWTN News, stating that the Vatican seeks to assign powers to non-Nicaraguans due to their conduct.
Bishop Álvarez was sentenced to 26 years and four months in prison on February 10, 2023, for treason after denouncing government excesses.
In his interview, Álvarez expressed his intention to resign but felt called to continue serving as the Bishop of Matagalpa and Apostolic Administrator of Estelí.
The Nicaraguan Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Vatican's statements as disrespectful and an insult to Nicaragua's sovereignty.
