Nicaraguan VP Says Opposition Candidates are Criminals

The Nicaraguan Vice President also accused opponents who aspire to the Presidency of being “thugs,” “criminals” and “terrorists.”

“Evil dictatorships act at night to scare, to intimidate,” said Cristiana Chamorro, offering details about the abduction of Gomez and Fletes.

Nicaraguan journalist Jose Adan Silva, was chased and detained by officers and paramilitaries, after attending the Public Ministry.

The Nicaraguan Attorney General’s investigation of the Violeta Barrios de Chamorro organization amounts to “a criminalization” of journalism.

The DA’s office has still not confirmed whether they’re planning to file charges. Meanwhile, they’ve called in nine journalists to declare.

The Nicaraguan Attorney General’s Office threatened to “indict” three journalists, summoned for an “interview.”

As in 2018, the police arrived with no legal mandate. They were simply carrying out orders issued by their supreme chief, Daniel Ortega.

Ortega is “hurt” by Confidencial’s resilience after the 2018 occupation of its offices. He strikes at the media to impose a fictional realty.

Experts warn that a fraudulent electoral process could generate a new wave of massive protests and emigration.

Imposing fear has been one of the most used resources by tyrannies in the course of world history. Ortega is just following the same script.
