MANAGUA - The Nicaraguan government on Wednesday released 100 people the opposition considers political prisoners, just as government and opposition leaders restarted talks aimed at ending a national crisis.
Nicaragua’s interior ministry said 100 people were freed but did not give details on their condition. In retaliation, the United States has ramped up sanctions on Ortega’s allies and family and limited Nicaragua’s access to financing. U.S. President Donald Trump said this month “the days of socialism” were numbered in Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba.
Witnessed by the Roman Catholic Church, talks took place between the government, business representatives, students and opposition politicians, seeking a resolution to the crisis.Waldemar Stanislaw Sommertag, the Apostolic Nuncio to Nicaragua, read a statement at the end of the talks saying that 12 issues were discussed, and that there had been agreement on nine of them. He did not give details.
