The European Parliament has adopted a resolution strongly condemning the human rights situation in Nicaragua. The text responds to the recent escalation of repression and the January 2025 constitutional reform that eliminated the separation of powers. It aims to protect citizens, democratic opposition, and civil society organizations in Nicaragua.
The resolution is based on Articles 150 and 136 of the European Parliament's Rules of Procedure. Main objectives include condemning systematic human rights violations, restoring the rule of law, and protecting civic space. The document references persecutions that began in 2018 against political opponents, non-governmental organizations, and religious representatives.
The resolution was adopted in 2025 and was immediately transmitted to the Council, Commission, High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Member States, and Nicaraguan authorities. Implementation of the requested measures depends on subsequent actions by EU institutions and Member States, including application of sanctions and monitoring of the situation.
The resolution seeks to protect Nicaraguan citizens affected by repression and support civil society organizations. It may influence EU external policies and relations with Nicaragua. Main beneficiaries are persecuted persons, human rights organizations, and countries hosting refugees. It is important to monitor the Nicaraguan regime's response to these requests.
