Managua. El presidente de Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, convertirá en un centro cultural el local donde funcionaba el diario La Prensa, crítico de su gobierno y cuya policía ocupó el año pasado, sumándose a una larga lista de entidades que han pasado a manos del Estado.

Las instalaciones del diario, el más antiguo del país con 95 años de existencia, fueron tomadas por la policía el 13 de agosto del 2021, aduciendo una investigación por fraude y lavado de dinero contra sus directivos. La vicepresidenta y esposa de Ortega, Rosario Murillo, anunció la próxima construcción del “Centro cultural y politécnico José Coronel Urtecho”, que administrará el Instituto Nacional Tecnológico (Inatec).
