This new onslaught follows several threats that the propagandist William Grigsby made to various businessmen, accusing them of acts of corruption and of “financing” the supposed coup attempt against the Daniel Ortega regime.
The director of Radio La Primerísima is the most visceral of the paid agents of the Ortega-Murillo propaganda, and in his morning program, Sin Fronteras, on May 24, he attacked businessmen Carlos Pellas, from Grupo Pellas and Ramiro Ortiz Mayorga, from Grupo Promérica-Banco de la Producción (Banpro), whom he pointed out as having financed the so-called “coup d’état” of 2018.
On that occasion, he also attacked businessmen Ernesto Fernández Holman and Piero Coen, whom he accused of running an “illicit money laundromat.”
Coen is the owner of the Western Union remittance company in the country. In addition, in 2016, he assumed the chairmanship of the Coen Corporate Group. His company has operations in Central America and Mexico.
According to information on different digital pages, the businessman is the representative of AirPak, the company that sends and receives remittances from Central America.
Dangerous onslaught against big capital
As for the propagandist’s threats, Article 66 at that time consulted Manuel Orozco, of the Inter-American Dialogue, who said that “Grigsby’s monologues are tools of disinformation, discredit, and lies disguised as news, with the purpose of announcing some punitive measure to consolidate his repression.”
While for the opposition leader and exiled political prisoner Felix Maradiaga, what Grigsby said may be marking a dangerous escalation of repression, aimed at the country’s big businessmen.

Maradiaga points out that it must be taken into account that Grigsby is a spokesman for the Ortega-Murilllo, chosen to announce the next steps of repression.
For this reason, he analyzes that Grigsby’s attack against businessmen “is not a minor thing, but an indicator that in the coming days or weeks the repression will be carried out against that sector. Fiscal terrorism, expropriation and persecution against small, medium and large businessmen, “warns the former politician.
