MEXICO CITY (Urdupoint News / Sputnik – Mar 13, 2023) Nicaragua has severed diplomatic relations with the Vatican, the Central American nation’s Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday, after media reported it had closed its embassy in Rome.

Pope Francis called Nicaragua a “dictatorship” in an interview with Infobae on Friday.
