The maquiladora owned by the general that the Ortega regime intervened in Nicaragua: 1,800 workers sent on vacation, wages at risk, and clothing withheld

Authorities under the Daniel Ortega regime in Nicaragua have intervened in the Rocedes maquila, a facility linked to retired General Joaquín Cuadra Lacayo. The state action took place this week, resulting in 1,800 workers being sent on vacation amid threats to their salaries and the retention of manufactured garments.

The intervention disrupts operations at a major manufacturing plant associated with a high-profile military figure, immediately impacting the employment status and financial security of nearly two thousand workers whose wages and produced goods are now at risk.
