From his exile in the United States, the former candidate to the presidency of Nicaragua, Luis Fley, denounced that a group of supposed workers of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) arrived at his farm located in the municipality of Tipitapa, in Managua, They inspected the place and warned that the property would be confiscated. Then they left without leaving any kind of documentation.
According to Fley, the event would have occurred on Tuesday, January 4th at about 11:00 am The alleged PGR workers arrived in three vehicles, “they told the caretaker that they were going to confiscate the farm” and for approximately two hours “they walked all over the place.” However, 24 hours later, his family had not received any notification from the PGR.
Fley, who was commander of the Counterrevolution in the 80s, recalled that in 1981 all his assets were confiscated, so he cannot help feeling “powerless in this situation”, since, he values, “where are we going to go? to claim if all (State officials) obey the interests of the dictatorship? ”.
In Fley’s opinion, what happened on his farm is a kind of “political revenge”, since he is one of the few candidates for the presidency who managed to go into exile to preserve their freedom during the last repressive wave of the Daniel Ortega regime, which since May last year has imprisoned seven opposition presidential candidates, union leaders, NGO leaders, human rights defenders, journalists and former diplomats.
“My farm is valued at about $ 200,000,” says Fley.
“When I was in Nicaragua I lived there, it was also my place of work, but since July (2021) when I left it (when I went into exile) there was only one guardian who has been working with me for 15 years… I have cattle there and we produce melons and watermelons, ”Fley recounted.
