General news briefs. This week marked the end of a three month moratorium during which the courts could not evict people from homes or property distributed through the Sandinista and Chamorro land reform measures. The time frame which was established by both FSLN and Liberal deputies and approved by the National Assembly, expired as National Dialogue talks turned into Liberal-dominated discussions which so far have resolved nothing. Barricada, the FSLN newspaper, reported that hundreds of families in Managua and thousands of families throughout Nicaragua were living in sheer terror of being evicted on Wednesday, August 6th, the final day of the three month grace period. Rumors spread that the government already had a list and that judges would start evictions immediately.
