The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The UCA actively backed terrorists in the failed US-funded 2018 coup in Nicaragua, by launching an international campaign of fake news and fundraising while remaining silent about the violence carried out by the opposition. Such behavior is completely unacceptable for an institution that receives government funding.

Pro-establishment narrative

The Ortega dictatorship has not only carried out a blatant violation of academic freedom by closing and confiscating UCA in revenge for their brave stance against the regime's crimes, but it has also committed an act of repression against the Catholic Church. The international community must halt these assaults on religious freedom and human rights.
