Background

Maradiaga grew up and was educated in the United States.

Activities

Maradiaga has long been cultivated by the US government with the goal of destabilizing the Sandinista government.[3]

Although his support base in his homeland is tiny, and he is despised by Sandinista supporters who hold him responsible for destabilizing the country over three years ago, Maradiaga has remained a top US government asset.[3]

Incubated in the bowels of elite corporate-funded neoliberal institutions like the World Economic Forum, Maradiaga has led a series of NGOs and think tanks, such as the Institute for Strategic Studies and Public Policy (IEEPP), which use plentiful funding from CIA cutouts to like the US Agency for International Development, the International Republican Institute, and the National Endowment for Democracy to wage hybrid warfare against the Nicaraguan government.[3]

Connections

Felix Maradiaga was selected for the 2008 World Fellows Program. He was selected by the World Economic Forum to by part of the Young Global Leaders program in 2009. He is married to Berta Valle, who has similar connections to regime change organizations.
