CNN on Thursday denounced the Nicaraguan government after the network’s Spanish-language service CNN en Español was taken off the air there late Wednesday. The feed went dark as the network showed footage of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy giving his video address at this week’s UN General Assembly. “Cutting access to CNN en Español is yet another way to limit and hide information from the Nicaraguan people,” she said. “CNN stands by our network’s reporting and our commitment to truth and transparency,” Miami-based CNN correspondent Fernando Del Rincón said on air today, showing the moment the feed went dark. “At CNN en Español we believe in the vital role that freedom of the press plays in a healthy democracy.”
