El exilio de MOISÉS HASSAN, ex miembro de la Junta de Reconstrucción Nacional del FSLN

Moisés Hassan, a former guerrilla who served on the Government Junta of National Reconstruction created after the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution on July 19, 1979, lives in exile in Costa Rica for criticizing Daniel Ortega. Since then, he has retired from political life and witnessed the establishment of a new dynasty, similar to that of Anastasio Somoza. Hassan was a guerrilla fighter, teacher, and physicist, distinguished like very few others in Nicaragua in the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a minister, mayor, congressman, and opposition figure. Currently, at 82 years old, Hassan is battling neurological damage that causes him difficulty speaking and loss of balance. This is the result of a beating he received in March 2019 by police officers. However, he still remembers the clashes he had with the Sandinista Front leadership and the nine comandantes, as well as the confiscations he claims not to have benefited from. All of this led him to definitively resign from the FSLN in 1988 and found his own party, with which he sought the presidency in 1990. Although Violeta Barrios de Chamorro won, Hassan won a seat in the parliament. Hassan says he was unexpectedly chosen as the fifth member of the Government Junta for National Reconstruction, from which he resigned due to disagreements with the other members, especially Daniel Ortega and Sergio Ramírez. In this interview, Moisés Hassan reviews his turbulent life, from the arrival of his Palestinian-born father to Nicaragua to his most recent days in exile, after his father's property was confiscated and denationalized by the regime of his former comrade-in-arms, Daniel Ortega, and his former sister-in-law, Rosario Murillo, whom he considers "unbelievable that this woman is now deranged. Full of hate. If it weren't for the damage she does, it would be the funniest thing in the world."
