In the median of December 13, 2018, the National Police stopped the editing of Confidential y Esta Semana, the media of Independent communication that dirijo since 25 years ago. There is no judicial or administrative resolution to justify the aggression, although it is known that there is a political order written by Jefe Supremo de la Policía, President Daniel Ortega.
On the other hand, all of our computer, cameras and television editors are robbed, as is the accounting and institutional documentation of three companies, personal staff and all of our private and physical and digital information. One day, the Police regressed to occupy our permanent editorial office, and in the wake of Navidad asalting the channel 100% News, where his director, Miguel Mora, and the director of the press, Lucía Pineda. My colleagues were cared for during his months and sometimes in a political juiciness, accused of “terrorism” and “incitement to sound”, to possess periodism.
With the criminalization of the periodic ownership, the familiar dictatorship that enslaved Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, culminated in a series of attacks against the Independent Press that began during the April 2018 civil protests, c of miles of salaries to the callers, armed with their cellular telephones and the national flag, to demand the reunion of the governors and early elections. The response from the presidential party has led to a lethal repression of more than 325 deaths, all in impunity, centenaries of political pressure and more than 100,000 exiles. The Independent Periodismo converts to the regime in a “unique” aplastar, impressing the censorship and physical aggression against media and periodicals, has culminated in the approval of reprisal laws to reform a police state that it concludes with the meeting , and the pressures of expression and expression.
The first of January 2019, I was obliged to sell in exile with my spouse, to protect my physical integrity and be able to follow periodic liberties from Costa Rica. With our offices occupied by the police, the editorial staff of Confidential is disgrego between Managua, both persecution, San José, Miami, Mexico and San Salvador, but we never have to deal with periodism.
Sodra meses después,’n finale van 2019,’n Nicaragua sinresing ninguna garantía a reclamar mis derechos, eierciendo el periodismo. During all these years, the Supreme Court of Justice has admitted three appeal cases to those seeking solicitation to order the occupation. Without embarrassment, despite the evidence that demonstration of illegality, the place of lie and the Court never fell.
Finally, the 22nd of December of 2020, the regime announced by the visa authorities, mediating the installation of a root, the illegal confiscation of the property assigned to the Ministry of Health in violation of the law and the Political Constitution. One week ago, on March 23, 2021, the Ministry of Health installed a “Materna House” under the auspices of Confidential y This week. Where the channel works 100% notifications inaugurated three days after a “Center for the Attention of People with Addiction to Alcoholism and Drug Addiction”.
With these publications “greetings”, which are presented before the parties of the regime as an act of generosity of “commander and partner”, pretending to sell the heart of the media of Independent communication, executed manu militari, and the clause of various non-governmental organizations that promote human rights and the culture of democratic values. In reality, there is an urgent intention to “create” a crime of the State against the freedoms of expression, expression and association. El Gobierno violated Article 44 of the Political Constitution, which establishes a tax form that in Nicaragua “prohibits the confiscation of property”.
Like the drug traffickers and the organized crime, Ortega and Murillo intended to “do” their crime, encrypt the love of a means of communication as well as the health services that are obliged to try the Estado, fuesen una dadiva del system Estado-partido- family. But the governors will dejaron their unconscious hula on the crime scene. In the editing of Confidential, during dozens of decades of debating periodicals about how to tell stories to investigate the power and corruption, increasing periodism in freedom, now the giant photographs of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, censorship symbol and pink dictation.
Ortega y Murillo intends to erase from the collective memory the existence of a medium of communication, as he has already erected a monument to the crime against the freedom of the press that is now in the sight of all. Recurrieron a la fuerza bruta parera cerrar un medie de Communicación Independiente, pero no pudieron confiscar el periodism ni ni callar a Confidential.
Nunca, nor the day of the police asalto in 2018 or to consume now the illegal confiscation, hemos date to inform and tax the power. Our editorial office is located within the walls of a confiscated office, in the minds and minds of the reporters, in the agreement of the periodicals to inform the city at any cost, without any censorship.
But the resistance of Confidential not a serious series without the response of the audiences that support the credibility of our medium. In a country where more than one decade has passed since the authoritarianism hizo collapsed the state of law and democratic institutions, periodism is the ultimate reserve of liberties and its only radical defense in the confidence of the readers. Thanks to the citizens, and the users of the social speeches, we are facing the official censorship.
To fail, without embarrassment, to intimidate the intimidation and self-censorship that permeates all sectors of society, to turn the tide and win the battle for the world. Only then can we turn the truck into a democratic exchange. And more importantly, let’s face the great history of sail XXI: the end of the last dictatorship of the history of Nicaragua, to begin the construction of a new Republic in democracy, with justice and impunity.
