The regime returns Daysi Torres as ambassador to Venezuela, the fourth since Maduro's capture
Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo have reappointed Daysi Torres as Nicaragua's ambassador to Venezuela, a position she previously held from March 2023, from which she was removed in January and then appointed head of the diplomatic delegation in Cuba, where she lasted only two months.
TL;DR
- Daysi Torres has been reappointed as Nicaragua's ambassador to Venezuela by Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
- Torres previously held this position from March 2023 until January, when she was moved to Cuba for a two-month tenure.
- Her return to Caracas follows the removal of Isidro Antonio Rivera Gaudeamus, who served as ambassador for less than three months.
- Rivera Gaudeamus replaced Valezka Fiorella López, whose tenure was even shorter at only one month.
- López had replaced Torres when the latter was initially relocated to Cuba.
- The frequent changes suggest a diplomatic reshuffling following the events of January 3, 2026, involving Nicolás Maduro.
- The alliance between Nicaragua and Venezuela, stemming from Hugo Chávez's rise to power, remains a key factor.
- Recent political shifts, including Delcy Rodríguez's leadership, indicate a potential distancing from automatic support for the Venezuelan regime.
