The spokeswoman for the Nicaraguan regime, Rosario Murillo, attacked the country’s journalists accusing them of “building scenarios” during the 2018 social protests with the purpose of spreading “falsehoods” making them believe that a new “insurrection” was being repeated in the country. .
In her meridian intervention on April 6, through the official repeaters, the deputy president maintained that journalists have been in charge of manipulating and misrepresenting information in the country.
“We have known manipulation through information and communication. How many stages were choreographed, built here in that disastrous April, that we all hate and that will never return. How many scenarios! We saw them, we saw them, how many people even and especially outside the country got confused when they saw theater, pure theater. That was it, she said.

The vice president highlighted that journalists in Nicaragua created “choreographies and sets to try to mobilize consciences to one side or the other,” during the demonstrations in April 2018.
Ortega’s spokeswoman also attacked the Nicaraguan opposition. She called them “destroyers of peace” and maintained that her opponents “wanted the world to believe that the insurrection was repeating itself in Nicaragua.”
He assured that in April 2018, «what there was was crime, organized crime, that is what there was with a choreographic montage or choreographic montages, which simulated the epic of the insurrection. Who believed them? Nobody, because the lie has short legs.
He stressed that “we know, we know who we are, where we come from and where we are going, all the tricks of communication were used, all the tricks that included the presentation of vandalism as heroism, all the tricks of communication that included false prophets blessing the wickedness, perversion; that we say using and swearing with the name of God totally in vain».
With these words he addressed the leaders of the Catholic Church on whom the dictatorship has declared “war” for opening the doors of the temples so that young people could protect themselves from attacks by the repressive apparatus of the State.
Rosario Murillo reiterated that independent journalists in Nicaragua “unfortunately” use a “biased and fabricated communication,” to manipulate and “make us believe that the world is as the powers want it and the world should be of the peoples and for the peoples.” .
What Ortega’s wife did not mention were the imprisonment of journalists, the murder of reporter Ángel Gahona, the arson attack on Radio Darío with all its personnel inside the facilities, the confiscation of media outlets and the list of repressive laws to criminalize the work.
