Self-convened and members of different organizations of Nicaraguan exiles in Costa Rica, protested and called for a “boycott” against the Nicabus transport company, in a sit-in held on Sunday, outside terminal 7/10 in San José, then its owner; Enrique Quiñónez issued a strong “hate speech” against the more than 170 political prisoners held in Nicaragua by the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
In his Choque de Opinions program, broadcast on Radio 800, Quiñónez referred to some prisoners of conscience as “tostones” (homosexuals) and called “gross” relatives who did not sign the statement made last week by relatives of political prisonerswho asked for the support of the Government, the active forces of the country and the church, for “a process of citizen unification.”
He also said that if you want to “see free” the political prisoners who are in El Chipote, you will have to make “the call to lift the sanctions.”
Some of the members of exile organizations such as the Congress of the Unity of Free Nicaraguans, Together for Nicaragua and the Western Movement were from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm on Sunday calling those who approached the terminal of Nicabus to “not use that transport for being a collaborator with the Ortega regime.”
The released political prisoner Róger Martínez, a psychologist who is currently exiled in Costa Rica, explained to CONFIDENTIAL that the call is made in manifesto to the statements where Quiñónez “made fun of the political prisoners in Nicaragua”, since “it generated the indignation of the exiles in Costa Rica and the idea of setting up a sit-in in the business arose in WhatsApp groups of this individual.”
“It is a boycott of the Nicabus business, inviting people not to use that transport line, since there are other lines that pass through Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which do not lend themselves to the game of the dictatorship in Nicaragua,” he said.
Quinonez threatens with jail
Prior to the sit-in, Quiñónez -through his radio program- pointed out that the citizen Jimmy Guevara and “another” were the ones who “started the campaign against Nicabus”, calling them “cowards” and assuring that “he has never made fun of the people” and that, on the contrary, for some years “they have been adding slander” against their company.
“Those who are going to go, let them go… if they wish me ill, God is going to multiply them and when the time comes, I hope they have their papers in order… because if I can’t take them to trial in Costa Rica, I’ll wait for them here in Nicaragua,” he said in Last Friday’s show.
He added that “everything has its limit and this under the death threats and of harming the Nicabus company in Costa Rica has its limit, and my answer is, if he goes into the kitchen afterwards, don’t complain that it’s too hot because I I’m in the kitchen.”
In the program this Monday, January 31, Quiñónez once again referred to the boycott campaign and the protest that took place in Costa Rica against Nicabus, expressing -contrary to what was denounced in the sit-in- that he has not threatened citizen Jimmy Guevara, although he warned that “in the next few days we will go to the Public Ministry, that is, to the Attorney General’s Office, to present a formal accusation against the threats against the Nicabus company, not just Enrique Quiñónez.”
He mentioned that his lawyers in Costa Rica also have a series of documentation and that “there is already a file in the OIJ (Judicial Investigation Organism)”.
