11:01Now PlayingThe political crisis in Nicaragua is intensifying. More than 178 people have been killed since widespread demonstrations to oust Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega began in midApril, when his government announced plans to overhaul and slash social security.

We speak with Paul Oquist, senior minister for national policy in the Nicaraguan government.
