Description
"It affects young Nicaraguans," says one citizen of the Central American country after congress closed five universities, including the Polytechnic (UPOLI), a symbol of the anti-government protests that shook the country in 2018. During a session of the parliament, which has a ruling majority, the legal status of these institutions, which are linked to the Catholic Church and higher education, was withdrawn at the request of the Ministry of the Interior, which accuses them of failing to comply with transparency regulations.
