The President of Chile, Gabriel Boric, expressed this Saturday his solidarity with the Nicaraguan opponents who have seen their nationality withdrawn before calling "dictator" to the Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega.
Citizens, including journalists, activists, politicians, religious or human rights defenders, have been declared "fugitives from justice" and all their assets and companies will be confiscated, which will pass into the hands of the State.
The list includes the director of the newspaper ‘Confidencial’, Carlos Fernando Chamorro; the auxiliary bishop of Managua, Silvio Báez; the president of the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights, Vilma Núñez; the writers Sergio Ramírez and Gioconda Belli; the ex-guerrilla Mónica Baltodano or the ex-minister of Foreign Affairs Norman Caldera.
"A fraternal hug to Gioconda, Sergio, Sofía, Carlos and all those whom Ortega has tried to strip them of their Nicaraguan nationality"Boric has stated on his Twitter account.
"The dictator does not know that the country is carried in his heart and in his actions, and is not deprived by decree. They are not alone!"added the president of Chile.
One of those affected, Carlos Fernando Chamorro, has returned the courtesy to the Chilean President and his Foreign Minister, Antonia Urrejola, for "their solidarity with the people of Nicaragua, who are struggling to free themselves from a corrupt family dictatorship".
"Our country is the aspiration of democracy in freedom and justice without impunity"has added.
