The authoritarian regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has relieved Daysi Ivette Torres Bosques from her duties as Nicaragua's ambassador to Cuba, a position she held for a mere 50 days.
The decision was made official through Presidential Agreement number 42-2026, featured in La Gaceta, Nicaragua's official gazette. The directive stressed the annulment of "the appointment of Compañera Daysi Ivette Torres Bosques as the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Nicaragua to the Government of the Republic of Cuba, as stated in Presidential Agreement No.21-2026 dated February 3, 2026," according to La Prensa.
Although the decree was signed on Tuesday, March 24, it was not disclosed publicly until the following day. The regime has not provided any official explanation for this abrupt dismissal.
Previous Diplomatic Role
Torres Bosques was officially appointed on February 3 and was nearing the completion of two months in the post by April 3. Prior to her assignment in Havana, she served as Nicaragua's ambassador to Venezuela from March 2023 until January 28, 2026, when she was also removed from that position.
Merely six days later, she was reassigned to Cuba. The Nicaraguan outlet Nicaragua Investiga had remarked at the time: "Daysi Torres is sent from one turmoil to another."
Pattern of Diplomatic Changes
This instance is not isolated. Over the years, Ortega's regime has appointed and dismissed at least seven ambassadors to Cuba, including Sidhartha Marín Aráuz, who occupied the position for just 11 days.
The removal of Torres Bosques coincides with a period of increasing instability within the Ortega-Maduro-Castro alliance. On January 3, 2026, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in Caracas during "Operation Absolute Resolution." Maduro is facing federal charges related to narcoterrorism and cocaine trafficking.
Amidst these developments, U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that there will either be an agreement or necessary actions will be taken regarding Cuba. Concurrently, Senator Marco Rubio emphasized the necessity for a change in Cuba's governmental system.
