Six years after the massive protests of 2018, Sandinismo is still installed in power, has redoubled political violence, and has annihilated the opposition and any dissidence. This Tuesday, April 15, the body of the opposition Carlos Alberto Garcia Suárez was found in the city's municipal landfill from Jinotepe.
90% of the body had burns, completely charred. The police rule out a "criminal hand" in the death, but the Reflection Group of Politically Released Prisoners (GREX) denounces a series of inconsistencies in the police version. "We want to highlight that he is the third politically released prisoner murdered in an atrocious manner since 2021, and there is no in-depth investigation. The government is the main suspect, but this is to send a message to the politically released prisoners to walk carefully," says Ricardo Baltodano, one of the directors of GREX. The authorities report a body in a state of "decomposition," "skeletal." The last time the man was seen alive was this April 13. The repression has dismantled all types of political and social organization in Nicaragua. The remnants of opposition and discontent that continue in Nicaragua are tiny. Laureano Ortega Murillo, the opera-loving son of the presidential couple, has gained a lot of preponderance. The one who pulls the strings of this transition plan is his mother, the powerful “co-president” Murillo. "There is a consolidation of the dictatorship. I do not agree with the optimistic messages that the dictatorship is deteriorating," says Eliseo Nez, a former opposition deputy whom the regime stripped him of his nationality. The regime is cleansing themselves of internal adversaries, as they did with the purge in the Supreme Court of Justice, to then launch the theory of succession, which is first Rosario Murillo and then Laureano, says Nnez. The opposition has been devastated, first with the imposition of exile and prison, and then with the imposition of prison and exile.
