Comments by Rosario, Co-President of Nicaragua
after the Event Handing Over Buses and Minibuses to Public Transport Cooperatives
February 16th 2026
Good evening, Compañera. Happy and proud of this beautiful event and, because we are a grateful People, of the acknowledgment, the recognition with which it vibrated and that we felt. Our recognition goes out to the great People of the People's Republic of China, to its authorities, to its President, to the women and their families who today celebrate the Chinese Spring and the Year of the Horse. At a gallop, at a trot, let us all Go Onward!
It is beautiful to know that we are grateful, beautiful to know, beautiful, intense, to know that always, always our Heart recognizes the great power of God and the great power of Love. There is no hatred here, there is no human wretchedness here, because here we know how to live in Peace and build Peace every day.
Therefore, we feel calm, safe, happy, because we know that every day is for consolidating Harmony, Encounter, Peace, Affection, and that every day is for advancing in Work, Security and Peace, building the Future.
That beautiful report that Comandante Daniel gave about what Nicaragua’s Families have been able to do; we are talking about the transport operators and we are also talking about the producers, we are talking about business people, how we have been able, at all times, to overcome, to transcend and to make our lives with Love and through Love.
That is why it is difficult to understand those who do not value their own People and the Love that is lived out here, the Love that strengthens us here as a Gift of God, because Love is the Infinite Gift of God. Love and Peace!
It is difficult to understand them, but well, may God forgive all those who strive every day to hurl hatred at their Nation, imagine, against their Land, against their Families, because although they are few, many of them have Families here who live in Peace, who live in Security. And a lot of those individuals spewing Hatred, Fire and Curses, how much they were helped, how much they were supported, how much they were assisted.
Ingratitude is not among God’s gifts. It is Gratitude that is a Gift from God, knowing how to recognize, knowing how to be grateful, and that the Recognition of God's Love and also Gratitude when one receives the support one needs at different times, that Recognition is a Gift from God.
That's why we always feel blessed, because we have a grateful Heart, and here we see the Compañeros and Compañeras bus operators, their Cooperatives, grateful both to themselves, to their People, and to this Government, which allows us all to work and to prosper.
Comandante Daniel said that the People's Republic of China consolidates Peace in the World, and from that Peace, also Security and Prosperity. Because, with Brothers and Sisters like them, with Brothers and Sisters of whom we feel so proud, of the great Chinese People, working together as brothers and sisters, we are all thriving and strengthening Peace.
Strengthening it in our Country, and asking God to strengthen Peace in the whole World, to prosper, to achieve Well-being, to Live Better, to live peacefully, and to feel more and more proud of being this Great People that we are, with the Compañeros and Compañeras who around the World forge complementarity and fraternity with us, always striving for a world of Peace, a world of Work, of Security, and of Joy, the Joy that comes with Peace.
Let's go onward, then, Compañeras and Compañeros. This week we have so very much to celebrate and so very much to transcend, because February 21st is a day of grief, but also a day that gives birth to the Immortality of the Great Hero, our General Sandino. But it was a day of pain, a murder committed and an attempt made against Peace.
But now that we live in Peace and know where we came from, from that Great Heroism and that assassination that sacrificed Peace in Nicaragua, for dozens of years living a war against the People, a war against the Rights of the People; now that we live, as the song says, “Now that we are Free,” we know how to value more and more that Great and Glorious History that we will be commemorating this week, and we thank God every day, because that's where we came from and we are Going Onward.
Thank you, Compañeras and Compañeros. The future is ours. Thank you.
