OF VIGOR AND GLORY
Initial remarks of declarations by Rosario
Co-President of Nicaragua,
in the Midday Edition of Multinoticias Channel 4
August 11th 2026
Thank you, Compañera. A very good afternoon. And also to all Nicaragua’s Families, Heroic, Hardworking, Victorious, to all Nicaragua’s Families, our Embrace, with the Strength of Affection.
Yesterday we saw the overflow, the brimming over of Fervor, Faith, Tradition, Culture, as he entered his shrine, in the procession that led Santo Domingo de Guzmán, back to Las Sierritas, to his shrine.
We watched this and how can we say anything else except how enviable it is to have that People's Heart, which is able to recognize the portentous, the miraculous, in Divinity, because we know how to be humble, and we know how to kneel before the Most High, to kneel also before all the Saints, and
to be grateful.
Because Nicaragua lives splendor, glory and victories, Thanks to the Heavenly Father and to all these Saintly presences filling the squares and the streets. Soon comes the feast of Saint Jerome, for example, and each of these festivities has its own dances, its own rhythm, its own sounds and steps.
We throng the streets and squares, in the joy of Faith, of Hope, of Certainty, of Fervor and, above all, of the assurance that we are living in times of Peace, Glory and Victories, Thanks be to God.
Today is Tuesday, August 11th and we are living precisely the glory of the Peace that Christ Jesus, Our Heavenly Father, and all Three Divine Persons endow on this Blessed, Always Dignified, Free, Grace-filled Nation of Ours.
Today, on August 11th, we celebrate all the Heroic and Victorious Struggles of our Brave People, Women, Men, Youth, Grandparents, Boys and Girls, entire Families, of Heroic Struggles and Glorious Victories.
The 11th day of the month of August, when we are also preparing to commemorate the 59th Anniversary of the extraordinary feat of Pancasan, on the 29th of this Month, in a Solemn Session of the National Assembly, for the first time there in Pancasan itself. An extraordinary feat, immortalized in the beautiful song of the poet David McField, whom we all love so much:
“A cry comes from the mountain
a cry that sounds at dawn
which goes like this
Revolution, Revolution, Revolution”
And how it confirms that we are a Land, a Nation, of Revolution and Revolutionaries, that we fight to overcome, that we fight to overcome Poverty, that we believe in God the Father Almighty and in Christ Jesus and His Teachings, of Liberating Love, of Victorious Love, of Great Fraternity, and of the Right of Everyone to live with Dignity.
On August 8, just past, we also remembered the Splendid Life of Doña Lidia Saavedra de Ortega, Mother of Daniel, Humberto, Camilo, Germania; constant until her last breath, making her way, encouraging, strengthening her children, who fought, and from Eternity she continues that Battle for a Nation of Peace and Well-being, Free of Poverty, A Dignified Patriotic Nation for Everyone, a Nation for the Sake of Everyone.
Doña Lidia, Always Present, Always Combative, at all times and in all circumstances forging the Future all of us want.
Doña Lidia, humble and admirable Mother, along with so many humble and admirable Mothers who organized to fight, in their own way, with their children, inspiring the Battles, those of Yesterday, those of Today, and those of Always.
Doña Lidia, always with us!
And two days remain too before the Centenary of Comandante Fidel, Immense Fidel, Head of our American and Caribbean Revolutions. How proud, how honored, to have known him, to have learned, to have shared with him transcendent moments, before the Triumph of the Revolution and during all these Times. How Fidel taught us to discover the Victories, the fabric of the Victories in all the instants of so many Springtimes.
"Fidel, Fidel,
What is it Fidel has
that the Imperialists
can't handle him?”
Fidel, Thought... Fidel, Works... Fidel, Realizations... Fidel, Intuitions, Magnificent Intelligence...! I use a word he always favored in his Writings: "Colossal". And Fidel is Colossal! Off the charts, Fidel! To be such a Brilliant, Generous, Masterful Human Being, to be so Human for Eternity. For all Time!
We are installing a Giant Sculpture, of this Giant of the People of undefeated Cuba, just like him, on the Avenue of the Forebears, of the Heroes, of the Eternal Comandantes.
Among those who creep and crawl, the traitors and cowards, the servants and serfs, the packs of jackals, for them, as we know all too well, who always show signs of profound darkness, of evil and malignance, there is no possible Pride. They know only the ground over which they creep... which has nothing to do with “the land where I was born”, because they have no idea of that. As our General Sandino said, they merely bite the dust of their own cowardice, of their own malignancy, which goes on growing.
For those who do not believe in Love and in the God of all Victories... for those who can only prescribe what they think is terror, because they are terrorists... for such clowns who live, or rather don't live, for how can any Life constantly defy the forces of Good; on the contrary, theirs is an endless Purgatory, above all, they are lost in their infernal shallows.
To these spawn, everything that manifests decency, greatness, integrity, burns and bothers them, and they know why.
Compañer@s, we, here, as we make our way ever day, are content, honored, happy, glorious, because we are playing our part in the construction of a future without Poverty, that ungrateful, sinful, wretched Poverty those evil people prescribed for Nicaragua, and just as we rid ourselves of them, we also get rid of Poverty.
We continue this week with the Consultation of the Reforms aimed at perfecting our Democracy, and particularly, our electoral paths, so typical of Nicaragua, our dignified elections, our free Elections... the Electoral Paths owned by Nicaragua, by us Nicaraguans, Sovereign, just like our Land, Our Nicaragua, all her Citizens, Women and Men, of all ages.
On Thursday the 13th we will be paying tribute to the 46th Anniversary of the Naval Force of the Nicaraguan Army, and of the Military Forces of our Army, of our Nicaragua. And at the same time we take the opportunity, out of serene lucidity and integrity, to pay Honor, Tribute, Glory, wishing ever more Victories, to Comandante Fidel, to Comandante Raúl, to Miguel, to their People.
