Confidencial

Confidencial Under the Ortega Government (Nicaragua) Carlos Fernando Chamorro's Confidencial kept reporting on the Ortega government's crackdown after the 2018 protests, when few independent outlets were left standing. Police raided its offices on the night of December 13, 2018, the same night they searched several human rights groups. Chamorro went into exile in Costa Rica in January 2019, came home that November, then had to leave again in June 2021 after a second raid on the newsroom. In 2023 the government stripped him of his Nicaraguan citizenship along with dozens of other critics. Read Confidencial for the stamina of it: a newsroom that has produced serious reporting on its own country largely from across the border.
