The Government of Nicaragua, through the Ministry of the Interior, canceled two other Nicaraguan private universities on Tuesday, bringing the total to 19 outlawed since December 2021, including 7 of foreign origin, and ordered the confiscation of their movable and immovable property.
The new canceled study centers are the John Paul II Catholic University and the Autonomous Christian University of Nicaragua (UCAN), both registered as associations. The JPII university issued a statement to its students - see below.
The new study centers canceled are the Juan Pablo II University and the Autonomous Christian University of Nicaragua (UCAN), both registered as associations, according to an agreement of the Ministry of the Interior, published in the Official Gazette, La Gaceta.
According to the agreement of the Ministry of the Interior, which is in charge of the control and registration of NGOs, the associations of both universities failed to comply with the laws that regulate them.
The Juan Pablo II University, registered since August 26, 2004, has its headquarters in Managua and branches in Chontales (center), Matagalpa (north) and Granada (southwest).
Also, 26 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were outlawed by the head of the Interior of that country, María Amelia Coronel, according to seven ministerial agreements published in the Official Gazette of Nicaragua.
With the closure of these 26 NGOs, there are more than 3,300 organizations of this type dissolved after the popular protests that broke out in April 2018.
