The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua reportedly granted him political asylum under the belief that Funes was in danger.

“His life and physical integrity and that of his family (were in danger)” said a Ministry of Affairs announcement, “as a result of their struggle for democracy, peace, justice and human rights and political affiliation in the Republic of El Salvador.”

The granting of political asylum was announced by the official newspaper of Nicaragua, The Gazette.  The Secretary of Communications of the Presidency of El Salvador Eugenio Chicas tweeted the news.
