Nicaragua
After this fraud, the future will be written with an R
A month after its fraudulent electoral process, Nicaraguans remain polarizeded and expectant. Those who don’t accept the election results will face a real dilemma in the coming months, perhaps even years,
between Resignation and Resistance.
They will either resign themselves to accepting what happened
and everything will go on as before, with more of the same
that we saw in the five years preceding the elections;
or they will resist and organize to change things.... continuar...

These fragments from a more extensive book,

Otto Pérez Molina promised a “hard hand” and “compassionate heart.”
Will his government also be civic and democratic?

it’s not heading down the militaristic road.
Some of his first declarations are worrying omens.
Will we witness an even greater deterioration of democracy?... continuar...
