El régimen intenta borrar la memoria de la Upoli y la Agraria al rebautizar universidades con nombres de guerrilleros
El régimen transforma las universidades de todo el país en tributos a guerrilleros sandinistas que exaltan como "héroes", incluidas la UPOLI y la Agraria, bastiones de la lucha de Abril de 2018
TL;DR
- Nicaraguan public universities will adopt names of Sandinista guerrillas instead of their academic profiles.
- This decision is described as a new phase of political instrumentalization and control over higher education.
- The move aims to erase the memory of universities like Upoli and UNA, which were centers of the 2018 April Rebellion.
- Rosario Murillo announced the changes, calling them a "deserved recognition" for Sandinista figures.
- New names include "Héroes de San José de las Mulas" for Upoli and Bernardino Díaz Ochoa for the National Agrarian University.
- The Council of Rectors, a new political control structure, supposedly proposed the names.
- These renamings add to other regime actions like confiscating private universities and exiling academic authorities.
- University students are now required to take an introductory course focused on strengthening the image of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
