Editing Rosario Murillo (section)

=== Personal Life ===
Murillo joined the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1969. She provided shelter in her house, which was located in the Barrio San José Oriental in Managua, to Sandinista guerrillas, among them Tomás Borge, one of the founders of the FSLN.

During the early 1970s Murillo worked for ''La Prensa'' as a secretary to two of Nicaragua's leading political and literary figures, Pedro Joaquin Chamorro and Pablo Antonio Cuadra. Murillo was arrested in Estelí in 1976 for her activities in politics. Soon after, she fled and lived for several months in Panama and Venezuela. She later moved to Costa Rica where she dedicated herself completely to her political work with the FSLN, helped start Radio Sandino, and met her future husband, Daniel Ortega. When the Sandinistas overthrew [[Anastasio Somoza Debayle]] in 1979, she returned to Nicaragua. Murillo and Ortega were married in 2005.

Murillo defended Ortega when her daughter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoilamérica_Ortega_Murillo Zoilamérica Ortega Murillo] accused her stepfather Ortega of sexual abuse in the 1990s, which still affects her reputation with some Nicaraguans. Although Zoilamérica tried to pursue legal action, Ortega had immunity as a member of the National Assembly. Although when he found out about it, he accused Daniel of being sick. The relationship with her eldest daughter was never good, Rosario never showed signs of attachment to her daughter, whom she saw as a hindrance, in 1983, she contacted her daughter, telling her that she was ruining her life and that of her brothers, and suggested that she go to Cuba. She blamed her for the situation and her solution was to send her abroad so that Daniel Ortega would leave her alone and she, in turn, would leave her and her family alone. in September 1990 she even threw her daughter out of the presidential villa while she was undergoing rehabilitation after an operation.
