Nicaragua
The regime’s worst hours... to date
Nicaragua is moving into the tragedy foretold:
the COVID-19 pandemic’s exponential growth curve.
The regime is accustomed to controlling everything,
but it’s discovering it can’t bend the coronavirus to its will.

Dionisio Marenco died on May 19.
One of the FSLN’s most skilled militants and politicians,
he was among Daniel Ortega’s closest advisers until 2008,
when Rosario Murillo labelled him a “traitor” for speaking his mind.

then again the month after his controversial reelection November 2011.
Those critical analyses of the Ortega-Murillo regime are a valuable legacy

We offer his own words as our eulogy to his memory.
