Crisis in Nicaragua: Insights on Ortega-Murillo Repression Ahead of Elections

Nicaragua has descended into political crisis as the socialist regime of President Daniel Ortega has arrested many presidential candidates and other opposition figures. Others have simply “gone missing.” Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has responded to this radical anti-democratic crackdown with utter silence.   In response to this situation, Heritage is proud to welcome Berta Valle and Vicky Cardenas, the wives of jailed opposition presidential candidates Felix Maradiaga and Juan Sebastian Chamorro. These courageous women will confront the brutal repression of the Ortega regime and offer constructive actions that the United States can take in response.    Join us for this critical discussion on how to ensure that Ortega and his regime do not go unchallenged.  Hosted on Acast.
