NICARAGUA is in mourning for revolutionary priest, poet and former Sandinista government minister Ernesto Cardenal, who died on Sunday aged 95.
The Sandinista government offered condolences to the cleric’s family and friends following his death in the capital Managua and recognised his “contribution to the struggle of the Nicaraguan people.”
It announced a three-day period of mourning and gave thanks “for his life, his merits and his indefatigable love for Nicaragua.”
