14:55Now PlayingNicaragua used to be the safest, most peaceful country in all across Latinamerica despite being one of the poorest ones. But things are changing. The pensions reform sparked a wave of protest that are challenging Daniel Ortega’s rule. Ortega and his party, the Sandinista Front of People’s Liberation has been governing Nicaragua, with an iron fist, for more than a decade. And Ortega’s family occupies the highest positions in the Managua’s administration. This includes his wife, Rosario Murillo, who holds the position of Vice President.
Nicaragua is a strange animal within Central America. On one hand, Ortega braggs about his marxist-leninist roots but, at the same time, he is a catholic. Then again, Nicaragua is as poor as stable. They can sign free trade agreements with America while they keep being an ally of Russia or Iran.
Nonetheless, this, apparently, contradictory regime, might end with those violent protest we are witnessing these days in all the Nicaraguan cities. Or maybe not? Why are these demostrations happening? Can they really stop Sandinism? In this video, we will explain you all you need to know to understand Nicaragua and their politics.
