Managua. El obispo nicaragüense Rolando Álvarez, retenido desde hace una semana por las fuerzas de seguridad en su curia, acusado de intentar desestabilizar al país, aseguró este jueves que tanto él como una decena de personas que lo acompañan están bien de salud.

“Nos encontramos gracias a Dios bien de salud, viviendo en comunidad (...) estamos en las manos de Dios”, dijo Álvarez en una misa que transmitió por Facebook, en la que añadió que están viviendo el “encierro como un retiro espiritual”.
