Ortega turns newsroom of Nicaragua's Confidencial into home for expectant mothers

"The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo will execute this Tuesday, Feb. 23, the last act of confiscation of Confidencial, Esta Semana, Esta Noche, Revista Niú and the offices of the consulting company Cabal, in complicity with the Ministry of Health (Minsa, for its acronym in Spanish).

Vice President Rosario Murillo announced that this Tuesday, the Minsa will inaugurate a maternity home in the newsroom that was confiscated from Confidencial, after it was occupied by armed police since December 2018. The announcement occurs days after the offices and the TV studio were dismantled and painted 'chicha pink,' the color imposed by Murillo's propaganda in the FSLN."

LJR Note: The newsroom of Confidencial, Esta Semana, Esta Noche and Revista Niú was raided by the National Police on Dec. 13, 2018 during the political crisis that took hold of Nicaragua.
