(CNN Spanish) --

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, reported this Wednesday during an ordinary session of the Permanent Council of the organization that, so far, there is no progress in his negotiations with the authorities of Nicaragua to allow a high-level mission to enter the country, complying with what was entrusted in a resolution on Nicaragua approved on December 8.

"Definitely, from the actions undertaken, approval has not been received for the sending of a high-level good offices mission, as requested by the Permanent Council in its resolution of last December; that is, no formal response has been received" Almagro said.

The resolution approved on December 8 by the OAS Permanent Council affirms that Nicaragua fails to comply with the commitments of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and demands that the government receive a high-level mission to help resolve the sociopolitical crisis and lead to comprehensive electoral reforms.

The OAS considered illegitimate the elections held on November 7 and in which President Daniel Ortega obtained 76% of the votes and secured his fifth term, fourth consecutive and third continuous election.

Almagro: Institutionality of Nicaragua, without changes

The Ortega government has energetically rejected the OAS resolutions, which it considers interfering and in violation of sovereignty.

Foreign Minister Denis Moncada announced in November the separation of this regional body, which he accuses of meddling in the country's internal affairs.

Almagro acknowledged that there have been no changes in the issue of Nicaraguan institutions and the human rights situation.

In addition, he regretted that the efforts to achieve the release of 170 people who opposed the government, before the elections, before Christmas or prior to Ortega's inauguration on January 10, were also unsuccessful.

"They did not materialize; that is to say, there have not been multilateral actions that would allow progress of any kind to be achieved in terms of electoral conditions, coaptation of powers, the situation of justice, the situation of political prisoners, freedom of expression and other fundamental rights."

Dozens of Nicaraguan organizations within Nicaragua and in exile sent a letter to the OAS Permanent Council on January 17, before the expiration of the term of the Secretary General's efforts to obtain the acceptance of a high-level mission.

"Enough of declarations and exhortations, enough of useless negotiations. Enough, Mr. Ambassadors, of temporizing with this family dynasty and illegitimate binomial, accused of crimes against humanity. The subscribing States have the ethical imperative to act urgently in accordance with article 21 and the principles set forth in the OAS charter and the Inter-American Democratic Charter" expressed the signatory organizations.

So far they have not received a response from the Permanent Council.
