The EU on Monday announced it was declaring Nicaragua’s representative to the bloc “persona non grata” in retaliation for the expulsion of its ambassador from the Central American country.

“This is a reciprocal response to the decision by the Nicaraguan government on 28 September to declare the head of the EU Delegation to Nicaragua as persona non grata. The EU considers the Nicaraguan decision unwarranted,” a statement said.
