.julito77: Daniel Ortega is not going away, and democracy is dead in Nicaragua — if it ever really was alive in the first place.
. Protests in 2018 shone a light on Ortega’s authoritarianism, but nothing came out of it. Instead, it set the stage for the routine arrests of anyone who claims Nicaragua is not a democratic society.earlier this year for the North American Congress on Latin America: “Ortega has proved to be remarkably adroit at using radical-sounding language and anti-imperialist rhetoric to strike a reflexive chord of support among the international left.
Still, thanks to the United States’ long history of direct intervention in countries like Nicaragua, it’s too easy for Ortega and his supporters to blame this all on the imperialists from the north. During U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, Nicaragua was seen as a “terrorist” country, and so far, President Joe Biden's administration is following the same path, issuing statement after statement about why Ortega is so dangerous to the world.
Ironically, U.S. fears about communism and socialism might be unfounded when it comes to Nicaragua. Ortega is no longer a leftist — but it seems as if the U.S. can’t understand what to do next about it. The last time Americans were involved in Nicaragua, they were in the business of killing Sandinistas. Now, with Ortega winning yet again, what will the U.S. do? What will Ortega do?
It will be hard to predict those answers, but one thing is for sure: Ortega will remain president of Nicaragua due to the simple fact that he has become just like any of the right-wing Somoza dictators he once fought to remove from power. Ortega is not going away, and democracy is dead in Nicaragua — if it ever really was alive in the first place.
