Pedro Joaquín Chamorro
Pedro Joaquín Chamorro was a prominent Nicaraguan journalist and the director of the newspaper LA PRENSA. He became a symbol of resistance against the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza Debayle, using his platform to advocate for freedom of expression and social justice. Chamorro's assassination on January 10, 1978, sparked outrage and mobilized opposition against Somoza's regime, contributing to the eventual Sandinista Revolution that overthrew the dictatorship. In honor of his legacy, the Plaza Pedro Joaquín Chamorro was established in 1979, commemorating his fight for democracy.
