Dora María Téllez, one of the most important figures in the Nicaraguan opposition among the 222 former political prisoners who were exiled four days ago, stripped of their nationality and assets (including retirement pensions for the elderly), is considering accepting Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's offer to reside in Mexico, which he announced four days ago.
"It's one of my strongest options, I would love it," she confirmed to La Jornada , although in the short term she will have to remain in the United States, sheltered, like all the other exiled prisoners, to whom Washington granted humanitarian visas (parole) that give them protection for two years, but that do not allow them to leave the country in the meantime.
On February 22, during his morning press conference, the President revealed that he had written a letter to the Daniel Ortega-Rosario Murillo regime in December of last year offering to bring Téllez to Mexico. Téllez had been held in a dark solitary confinement cell for over a year. His family had reported a deterioration in his health.
That day, the offer was extended to all Nicaraguans deprived of their nationality (317 so far) to seek protection from the Mexican State in the form of asylum, citizenship, "or whatever they decide."
