Continuing crackdown on churches and NGOs moves Nicaragua further from democracy to authoritarianism

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Daniel Ortega's government recently shut down more than 1,500 nonprofits, many of them civic and religious groups.

Ruben Navarrette : The closures were the latest in a long-running crackdown on civil society.

He says religious groups some of the last influential, independent organizations in the country.

Richard Wood : The closure of democratic spaces, civic institutions and humanitarian organizations is a glaring sign that the country is being marched toward more oppression and violence.

Wood: Only a gradual rebuilding of civil society, I believe, may save Nicaragua from that fate.

The tragedy is what Nicaragua could have been: a thriving democratic society.
