Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today issued a statement after the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions against four members of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega’s inner circle who continue to “persecute Nicaraguan citizens exercising their fundamental freedoms, enact repressive laws, silence news media, and deny medical care to the Nicaraguan people.” Sanctioned individuals include Nicaraguan National Assembly President Gustavo Eduardo Porras Cortés, Institute of Telecommunications and Postal Service (TELCOR) General Director Orlando José Castillo Castillo, Health Minister Sonia Castro Gonzalez, and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Oscar Salvador Mojica Obregon.
“The regime in Nicaragua has broken its word of freeing all political prisoners and restoring civil rights following the negotiations with the Alianza Cívica Nicaragua,” Rubio said. “The Ortegas’ should make no mistake, the Trump Administration and the United States support the Nicaraguan people’s fight for freedom, restoration of civil liberties and free and fair elections. I applaud these new measures which seek to hold accountable Nicaraguan government officials who persecute and violate the human rights of their citizens.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.

Miami, FL — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió hoy una declaración luego de que el Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos impusiera sanciones contra cuatro miembros del círculo íntimo del presidente nicaragüense Daniel Ortega, que continúan “persiguiendo a ciudadanos nicaragüenses que ejercen sus libertades fundamentales, promulgan leyes represivas, silencian a los medios de comunicación y niegan atención médica al pueblo nicaragüense ”. Entre las personas sancionadas está el presidente de la Asamblea Nacional de Nicaragua, Gustavo Eduardo Porras Cortés, el Director General del Instituto de Telecomunicaciones y Servicio Postal (TELCOR), Orlando José Castillo Castillo, la Ministra de Salud Sonia Castro González y el ministro Transporte e Infraestructura (MTI), Oscar Salvador Mojica Obregón.
“El régimen en Nicaragua ha incumplido su palabra de liberar a todos los presos políticos y de restaurar los derechos civiles tras las negociaciones con la Alianza Cívica de Nicaragua,” Rubio dijo. “Que le quede claro a los Ortegas, la administración Trump y los Estados Unidos apoyan al pueblo nicaragüense en su lucha por la libertad, el restablecimiento de las libertades civiles y elecciones libres y justas. Aplaudo estas nuevas medidas que buscan responsabilizar a funcionarios del gobierno de Nicaragua que persiguen y violan los derechos humanos de sus ciudadanos”.
Rubio es el Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
