If there was any doubt as to why the Citizens Alliance did not sign an alliance with the National Coalition, it is now clearer than ever.

We’re facing an election without guarantees or electoral reforms, and with tightened Ortega-Murillo control over the electoral apparatus.

The Ortega regime’s police raided this Thursday, May 20th, the recording studio of the Esta Semana and Esta Noche online TV programs.

The child’s father has withdrawn his custody request, opening the way for mother and son to be reunited within a few days.
