El Pais; the Spanish newspaper that without shame supported the 2018 coup attempt in Nicaragua.
The “spied upon” headline from El Pais is unequivocal. The story, in the newspaper’s English-language edition, says that Nicaraguans live in “a climate of permanent surveillance” in which they distrust even their neighbors. Further, apparently harmless community meetings are really “a mechanism of social control” where they “feel watched.” El Pais sources a survey carried out “independently” by an organization called Hagamos Democracia (“Let’s Make Democracy”), based in Costa Rica.

We are referring to November 2020, when the United States deployed a warship—the missile cruiser USS San Jacinto—off the coast of Cape Verde: to prevent, according to the New York Times, “the regime” in Venezuela and Iran (and later Russia) from attempting to free Alex Saab, the Venezuelan diplomat who was kidnapped and tortured for trying to break the economic siege on Venezuela by importing food and medicine. This was at the height of COVID-19, a global pandemic. (more…)
