Nicaragua has severed diplomatic relations with the Netherlands, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this Central American country.

The Nicaraguan government made the decision because the "interventionist and neo-colonial" European country "insulted and continues to insult Nicaraguan families," the statement said.

Earlier this week, Nicaraguan officials declared the European Union ambassador persona non grata and also said the country would not accept the new US ambassador, fueling tensions between President Daniel Ortega and the international community.
