Nicaragua is puzzled over the whereabouts of its president, who has not appeared in public for a month. Meanwhile, the government is taking a headstrong path in the corona crisis.
Is he dead? Seriously ill? Quarantined? Nicaragua puzzles over the President’s whereabouts. The last time Daniel Ortega was shown on a screen on March 12th. He joined a video conference in which the Central American heads of government exchanged views on how to combat the coronavirus. Ortega said little since then he has disappeared.
It is not the first time that the President has dived. The country’s media – that is, the few who do not obey the government – therefore call Ortega the “absent ruler”. There is constant speculation about the health status of the 74-year-old ex-guerrilla, who is said to have been treated several times in Cuba.
