Nicaraguan Journalists in Exile Face Job Insecurity

A report released in Costa Rica by the Association of Independent Journalists and Communicators of Nicaragua (PCIN) revealed that Nicaraguan journalists in exile face a precarious labor situation. According to the document, these professionals encounter low salaries and lack access to social security.

The organization of Nicaraguan journalists in exile emphasizes that the lack of job stability and social protection hinders their professional practice. This situation occurs in a context marked by repression and persecution by the Nicaraguan government against freedom of the press and expression.

"We live in constant labor uncertainty, without guarantees or protection. Many of us have had to leave Nicaragua in search of safety to continue exercising our work as independent journalists," stated one of the communicators in exile.

The report also highlights the importance of making this reality visible and the impact it has on press freedom in Nicaragua. Exiled journalists are calling for greater solidarity and support from the international community to be able to cope with this situation and continue reporting on the humanitarian and political crisis facing the Central American country.
