Nicaragua has declared the European Union's ambassador to the country a "persona non grata" and ordered her expulsion from the country, local media reported on Wednesday.
Ambassador Bettina Muscheidt is no longer welcome in Nicaragua, a European diplomatic source told Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa.
The decision follows a speech by the European Union delegation to the United Nations on Monday in which it urged Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to "restore democracy" to the country.
