About half of Nicaragua's population wants to emigrate
All things being equal, I’d like to move to the America of their imagination, too. [APNEWS] Lawyer Isabel Lazo’s jobs are being systematically canceled by Nicaragua’s increasingly repressive government.Lazo worked at a university before the government of President Daniel Ortega closed it. She now is employed at a nongovernmental organization that she fears will soon be shuttered too. Nicaragua’s poisonous mix of economic decline and repression has led to about half of the country’s population of 6.2 million saying they want to leave their homeland, according to a new study, and 23% saying they had contemplated the possibility deeply enough to consider themselves "very prepared" to emigrate. "A large proportion of them have already taken concrete steps to try to get out," said Elizabeth Zechmeister, the director of the AmericasBarometer study "The Pulse of Democracy in the Americas."
