The sociologist Oscar Rene Vargas76 years old, was kidnapped at 10:45 in the morning of this Tuesday, November 22, by the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, at the residence of his sister Patricia, in Bologna, reported sources close to the family.
Vargas is a well-known critic of the Ortega dictatorship, who served during the Sandinista revolution as an adviser to the National Directorate of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).
His capture occurred at the hands of a strong police deployment, without the intellectual resisting or without any court order. The citizen was transferred to an unknown place until now by his relatives.
“He left where he was hiding to visit her due to her state of health and, ten minutes after arriving, the Police appeared. The walls were thrown down, they entered with weapons to take him away. At the time of the arrival of the Police, he came out serene”, explained the source, who emphasized that Vargas has a pacemaker at 76 years of age.
The sociologist, historian and economist is the author of 36 books and co-author of another twenty, according to the information published on his page Web.
In his last article —published last Sunday, November 20— he raised a strategy for the release of all political prisonersa total of 219 throughout the country, whose relatives have denounced the poor conditions to which they are subjected by the dictatorship, which has caused an increase in their physical and mental deterioration.

Vargas says that there is a whole web of illegal businesses at the expense of the treasury, which has reached pharaonic levels by members of the Ortega nomenclature.
According to the expert, Ortega will be forced to release them when he no longer has money to pay the military, police and paramilitaries, and when he risks losing control of the streets, which are the supports of the current political system controlled by the party of Government.
For this reason, it is necessary to implement an “internal implosion” that implies encouraging them to begin to doubt everyone in the entire State apparatus, as is happening, according to him, in the Supreme Court of Justice.
“When their social base begins to abandon the ship (children, relatives and senior Ortega officials emigrate), when the sanctions hit the sources of financing of the dictatorship and when they run out of friends who stop approving the financial support of CABEI, IDB , IMF and World Bank. The combination of these four factors is when the dictatorship will be forced to release all political prisoners,” he stated.
The sociologist is a reliable political analyst who is usually a source for the independent media to explain what is happening in the country, but also for the analysis of possible scenarios within the FSLN, a party that is managed with secrecy and in which its supporters act at the service of Ortega and Vice President Murillo.
