The Nicaraguan regime, through the Ministry of the Interior (Migob), voluntarily dissolved —according to the argument— six non-profit organizations that provided care to children and adolescents, and also canceled the legal status of another 20 NGOs, allegedly for “breach” the laws that regulate them. The decision was made public this Wednesday through La Gaceta, the official newspaper.
Regarding the dissolution of the first five organizations, the Migob indicated that they have not operated or carried out activities of any kind and they themselves requested the cancellation of their legal personality.
