The administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, considered that the illegitimate president, Daniel Ortega, will stop at nothing to suppress the voices and democratic aspirations of the Nicaraguan people.
Power made this statement when commenting on the charges that the Nicaraguan Public Ministry has made against Bishop Rolando Álvarez, a very critical critic of the Ortega regime and who was accused of the crimes of conspiracy to undermine national integrity and propagation of false news. .
In a message sent to journalists by the press office of the United States Embassy in Nicaragua, the USAID administrator stated that “these charges are part of an offensive against the Catholic Church that has resulted in harassment, forced exile and the imprisonment of numerous religious leaders” and warned that the regime “will not stop” in repressing.
The dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo filed charges for alleged “illegal possession or possession of firearms and ammunition” against Rodrigo Navarrete, uncle of the political prisoner Jaime Navarrete, according to the accusation of the Public Ministry to which he had access Article 66.

Navarrete, 59, a retired soldier, was arrested on November 25 at his home in the Loma Linda neighborhood. Sources on condition of anonymity assured this means of communication that the accusation against Navarrete is “montage” and in “revenge” because the man has not stopped asking for the release of his nephew Jaime Navarrete, and has denounced the violations of the rights that his relative suffers in prison.
The traditional pastorelas of the novena of the Child Jesus of the San Francisco de Asís de Camoapa parish will be held inside the temple because the regime’s Police have restricted the processions.
