Thousands march to back Nicaragua bishops after Ortega attacks

Thousands of Nicaraguans marched through their capital in a show of support for the country's bishops whom President Daniel Ortega has accused of aiding an attempted "coup" against him.

The rally brought together Catholics, evangelicals and non-Christians under images of the Virgin Mary and Nicaraguan flags, and cries of "freedom" and "Bishop, buddy, the people are with you."
After those operations, Ortega this week declared "the turmoil is over." He also accused the country's bishops, who have been trying to bring about a peaceful solution by mediating talks between the government and the opposition, of helping those challenging him, whom he called "coup-mongers" and "terrorists."
