The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo consummated the confiscation of the building of the canceled NGO Fundación Puntos de Encuentro for the Transformation of Daily Life. In the facilities valued at almost 500 thousand dollars, the «National Center for the Development of Creative Talent “Nieves Cajina”» was inaugurated on March 8, International Women’s Day.
The new center will be under the administration of the National Technological Institute (INATEC) together with the National Commission for Creative Economy, Nicaragua Emprende and Nicaragua Diseña, these last three are the whims of Camila Ortega Murillo, daughter of the couple of dictators.
According to the director of INATEC, Loyda Barreda, this center is the first of its kind in Nicaragua “that promotes specialization, enhances the natural talent of young people, women, men, artisans, artisans, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs.”

“The purpose of this center is to be a catalyst for the talent, creativity, knowledge, and experience of people who individually or collectively want to specialize or also want to complement their talent for prosperity,” Barreda said at the inauguration.
In her inauguration speech, Camila Ortega was full of thanks to her mom and dad for this new “gift” and the “will” to “invigorate creativity, design, innovation, with aspects that today in Nicaragua allow us to achieve our dreams and our full fulfillment as individuals. The mayor of Managua, Reyna Rueda, also participated in the event.
The center will have equipped learning environments such as photography studios, creative fashion workshop, jewelry, leather, styling, culinary arts, cafeteria, auditorium, theoretical classrooms, spaces for warehouses, computer lab, academic and administrative offices.
Puntos de Encuentro produced the television series Sixth Sense, which was awarded several international recognitions for its promotion of human rights. The NGO was canceled on May 18, 2022, less than a year ago, and its offices were taken over shortly thereafter.
The NGO was founded in 1990 from the initiative of a group of women who identified the need to influence public opinion and the political and social life of Nicaragua with feminist approaches, to transform the inequalities experienced by women, youth and adolescents in their daily lives.
Until its closure, the organization had been constituted as an autonomous and pluralistic space, without partisan, union or religious support.
The Ortega Murillo dictatorship has removed the legal status of more than 3,000 NGOs and ordered the confiscation of their assets. Some of these buildings have already been delivered to the Ministry of Health (MINSA), INATEC and the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua).
