The Nicaraguan journalist Danilo Aguirre Sequeira, who appears in a video released by the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) of Costa Rica, as one of the six suspects of having tried to shoot and kill the opponent Joao Maldonado and his partner, reacted by calling him ” madness” of the OIJ that his image appears among the possible hitmen and for its part the Blue and White National Unit reacted by distancing itself from its former member.
Among the men who appear in the material released by the OIJ, opposition groups in exile immediately identified Danilo Aguirre Sequeira, a well-known journalist in Nicaragua, approximately 42 years old, who worked for several media outlets and is the son of the journalist and writer Erick Aguirre, and grandson of the now deceased founding journalist and deputy director of El Nuevo Diario, Danilo Aguirre Solís.
«I find myself looking for a safe place for myself. It’s crazy what’s happening, I’ll call you as soon as I feel safe. I ask you to be patient, and not take these words as answers. Just give me time and let’s talk,” the man told 100% Noticias, through a WhatsApp message that he immediately deleted.
While speaking to the independent media Nicaragua Investiga, the suspect said that he is “surprised” and assured that there is “enormous confusion” regarding him, in the case of the attack against Maldonado, but he has not said more.
The communicator was a member of the Blue and White National Unit (UNAB), according to a biography published on social networks in which Aguirre details his participation in that organization in which he aspired to a leadership position in the Political Council.
Faced with the facts, UNAB distanced itself. “The National Unity reports that Mr. Danilo Aguirre Sequeira has no connection with this organization since 2020,” says the statement from the opposition political organization.
And he adds that “Aguirre was a candidate for the Political Council in 2019, obtaining a minimum amount of support, as a result of which he completely withdrew from our activities, later appearing in other organizations.”
Marvin Ponce, former advisor to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, in an interview with the Punto Joven podcast, revealed that the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo offered the former president “everything he wanted” in order for him to avoid his extradition to the United States. .
«To (former) president Juan Orlando (Hernández), I’m going to tell you something, they sent him information that he should go to Nicaragua. Commander (Daniel) Ortega told him to go to Nicaragua: “Come before you hand over power, when you have lost the elections. Come, because gringos don’t believe in anyone. “They are going to transfer you, they are going to take you anyway, even if you are innocent,” said Ponce, assuring that those were the words of the Sandinista dictator.
Juan Orlando Hernández, according to Ponce, responded to the Ortega regime that “he couldn’t, that he was innocent and that he was going to submit to North American justice.”
In addition, he explained that the Orteguism offered former president Juan Orlando Hernández “a hacienda, a house, there in El Crucero, in a beautiful area there. Let him go to where (former president) Arnoldo Alemán lived. They offered him a house, everything, asylum, nationality, whatever he wanted, but (Juan Orlando Hernández) said no, because he said: “I am not a criminal.”
Ponce revealed that as an advisor he also supported former president Hernández traveling to Nicaragua, but he did not heed his advice.
«I passed him the messages. I told him that it wasn’t fair for him to turn himself in. “I told him to go to Nicaragua,” said Ponce.
