“On behalf of the president @NicolasMaduro, we extend our congratulations to comrades Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, as well as to the brother Nicaraguan people, in commemoration of the Day of National Dignity. This day marks 97 years since General Sandino refused to sign the Black Hawthorn Pact, which endangered national sovereignty, and rose up in rebellion against the invading American troops. Long live the dignity of free peoples! The people of Bolívar and Sandino who rebel against the Monroe Doctrine!”

The Espino Negro Pact was imposed by Henry Lewis Stimson, representative of US President Calvin Coolidge, on delegates to the conservative government of Adolfo Díaz. On May 4, the then Nicaraguan government agreed to surrender arms and our sovereignty to perks.
