Lupiac has been a longtime critic of Daniel Ortega and his ruling party, the Sandanista Front for National Liberation (FSLN). In 1990, she published the book, Debió llamarse libertad, which denounced the Ortega regime. Lupiac was also a radio correspondent for Radio Corporación, a Nicaraguan investigative radio station which has challenged the legitimacy of elections won by the FSLN.

 

In 2008, Lupiac was purportedly threatened at a protest at the Nicaraguan consulate in Miami, where she accused the Ortega regime of electoral fraud. According to a Miami publication, consulate workers denounced Lupiac personally over a loudspeaker and made a threatening reference regarding her children, who still live in Nicaragua.

 

The United States immigration court saw this example, and others that occurred in Nicaragua, as sufficient evidence that Lupiac would be in physical danger if she returned to Nicaragua. By granting political asylum to Lupiac, the court took the position that repressive elements do exist in the Nicaraguan government
