Nicaraguan Dictator Daniel Ortega Closes Two Catholic Universities
Breitbart ^ | 3/8/23 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 03/13/2023 6:15:15 PM PDT by marshmallow

Nicaraguan dictator Daniel Ortega has continued his fierce assault on the Catholic Church, shuttering two important Catholic universities and appropriating their assets.

In the official government newspaper La Gaceta, the Ministry of the Interior published Tuesday the annulment of the legal status of the Juan Pablo II University, based in Managua and four other cities, and the Autonomous Christian University of Nicaragua (UCAN), based in León and five other cities.

The authorities of the two now defunct Catholic universities are required to deliver to the government of Daniel Ortega their databases containing all information on their students as well as their teachers.

The Ortega regime justified its move by asserting that the two universities were guilty of “violations” of laws, declaring that they had failed to punctually file a report of their financial status.

The extinction of the two institutions was decreed “for being in breach of their obligations under the laws that regulate them,” according to the resolution signed by the Minister of the Interior, María Amelia Coronel Kinloch.

Both universities have also “hindered the control and surveillance of the General Directorate for Registration and Control of Non-Profit Organizations,” the resolution indicates in perfect Orwellian dialect.

Does his fellow Marxist Bergoglio care? I doubt it.

I no longer think that something like Ortega is doing can’t happen in the United States. In my state of Washington, the legislature is on the verge of approving a law that would allow government to monitor all communications - public and private - in order to detect signs of “radicalization” or “extremism,” which includes the expression of traditional Christian views on marriage, gender, sexuality, and abortion, and which will allow intervention by law enforcement and/or mental health professionals when someone expresses those beliefs, even when no criminal act is intended. Just the thought will be a crime.

It’s so bad that the people of WA State are so obtuse politically. It will in time cost them their freedom.

The Ortega regime justified its move. . .

Someone needs to just solve Ortega's problems permanently. He would stop complaining so much.

He’s not as sexy as he was in the 80’s. Pervert too. Right?

Are you into blaming victims? I actually don’t run into that many obtuse people in my WA district, unless you consider Trump voters (65%) to be obtuse.

It seems to me that the problems always fall SOUTH of our border.

The few wealthy families in every country south of our border control the politics, police, military and banks...just everything.
There is NO middle class to speak of and they keep their mouths shut.
Nothing will change, ever. Well, I take that back. It might get WORSE.

One can SMELL a third world sewer as one leaves the airport: sewage and garbage.

The wealthy won't help since they live FAR, FAR, FAR away from those "aromas."
The only time they MIGHT smell the stench is when one of their maids or gardeners needs a lift somewhere, in an emergency.

If America had a functioning press, someone would ask the Democrats who swarmed around him so lovingly in the 80s what they think about their boy now.
