Presidential candidate María Asunción Moreno denounced on July 26 that she decided to leave Nicaragua due to "harassment, persecution and the threat of imprisonment" by the Ortega-Murillo regime.
Hours earlier, the Public Ministry had informed in a statement that it was proceeding to request the Justice "forced conduction", that is, the arrest of Moreno, whom they accused of not appearing at the appointments made by the Prosecutor's Office.
Moreno explains to Fernando del Rincón that he had to choose between going to jail or exile.
