Ortega supporters Lucién Nahima Guevara Agüero and Darling de los Ángeles Hernández Castro, loyal to the Ortega Murillo dictatorship and recognized members of the Sandinista Youth (JS), were once again awarded positions paid for by the Nicaraguan treasury.
Lucién Nahima Guevara Agüero, according to presidential agreement 121-2024, was appointed head of the Ministry of Women, leaving her position as Minister of the Ministry of Youth.
Guevara Agüero was in office as Minister of Youth for two years and three months, since April 22, 2022, after the dictator Ortega awarded her her first ministerial position through presidential agreement 65-2022.

Lucién Nahima’s appointment occurred, according to presidential agreement 120-2024, due to the resignation accepted by Tamara Vanessa Martínez Sarantez, who had only been in office for two months as Minister of the Ministry of Women.

This is the first time that Hernández Castro has headed a ministry in Nicaragua. Before being awarded this position, she served as general secretary of the Ministry of Youth, according to presidential agreement 31-2020, published on March 26, 2020 in the official newspaper La Gaceta.
In recent months, dictators Ortega and Murillo have made several moves of officials linked to their regime. According to Urnas Abiertas, at least 13 mayors of the Sandinista Front, imposed by the Ortega regime in the 2022 municipal elections, have been removed in recent months. The most recent case of “decapitated” officials, disclosed by Urnas Abiertas, was that of the mayor of Siuna, Otilio Duarte, who was serving a second consecutive term and was replaced on orders of the Ortega regime by the political secretary of that town in the North Caribbean of the country, Marvin Polanco.
