\nThe Spanish Government last week granted Spanish nationality to another 17 Nicaraguans, in this case to relatives of opponents who were expelled and stripped of their citizenship by Daniel Ortega's regime, bringing the number of people benefited by this measure to 133, including May 2023 and July 2024.
\nAt the proposal of the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, F\u00e9lix Bola\u00f1os, the Council of Ministers granted these 17 people Spanish nationality by letter of nature last Tuesday, an exceptional procedure that is much faster than the usual channels and that prevents their statelessness from being prolonged for a long time.
\nOn February 9, 2023, the Government of Managua expelled 222 opponents (diplomats, former state officials, human rights defenders, Sandinista dissidents, opponents, journalists, academics, students, businessmen) from the country to the United States and stripped of their nationality. and merchants) accused of treason. After learning of the decision of the Ortega regime, the Government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez offered to grant Spanish nationality to those declared \u201cstateless\u201d by the Nicaraguan regime.
\nA week later, Daniel Ortega decreed the withdrawal of nationality and the seizure of his assets from 94 other opponents for the same reasons, after which the Spanish Government extended its offer to this second group. In addition to Spain, the Governments of Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Mexico have also offered nationality to the \u201cstateless\u201d of the regime.
\nAmong the 133 nationalized by Spain are diplomats, former state officials, human rights defenders, Sandinista dissidents, opponents, journalists, academics, students, businessmen and merchants, and such important figures as Cristiana Chamorro, presidential candidate in the 2021 elections; journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro Barrios, founder of the local newspaper 'Confidencial' and son of former president Violeta Chamorro; the sociologist Gertrudis Guerrero, wife of the exiled Nicaraguan writer Sergio Ram\u00edrez; or the writer Gioconda Belli.
\nThe beneficiaries, on this occasion, are fundamentally relatives of opponents retaliated by the regime of President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo. Among these people appears (according to the Official State Gazette and detailed in the newspaper 'Confidencial') Mar\u00eda Germania Carri\u00f3n Soto, wife of the formerly imprisoned politician and former president of the Superior Council of Private Enterprise (Cosep) Jos\u00e9 Ad\u00e1n Aguerri.
\nAlso on the list are Victoria C\u00e1rdenas, wife of Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Chamorro; C\u00e9sar Dubois, husband of former political prisoner Suyen Barahona; and Rossana Arg\u00fcello Vivas, widow of the former president of the Superior Council of Private Enterprise (Cosep) Michael Healy.
\nThe rest of the beneficiaries are Carlos Andr\u00e9s Valencia Gonz\u00e1lez, Bielka Sujey Moncada Gonz\u00e1lez, F\u00e1tima Rebeca Mart\u00ednez Vanegas, Hayd\u00e9e Mar\u00eda Lacayo Rodr\u00edguez, Karen Paola Galo Escorcia, Mar\u00eda Caridad Gonz\u00e1lez Chamorro, Mar\u00eda Elena Benda\u00f1a Jarqu\u00edn, Nelly Margarita Harding Zamora, Rosario Mar\u00eda Mendieta L\u00f3pez, Thelma Ligia Arag\u00f3n Espinoza, Violeta Esperanza Otero Rosales, Silvio Policarpio Guti\u00e9rrez Baca and Nora Mar\u00eda F\u00e1tima Mayorga Arg\u00fcello.
