A Democratic Transition in Nicaragua: Without Ortega and Murillo
A solution begins by repudiating the re-election of Ortega, obtaining the release of all political prisoners and a lifting of the police state.

There are less than four months until the November 7 elections, which will take place without any transparency or political competition. The Ortega Murillo dictatorship holds six opposition presidential candidates in prison, those who have the highest favorable opinion and vote intention in the polls, and who were competing to be “the unity candidate of the opposition.”
With the opposition eliminated in advance, with an Electoral Council controlled by the FSLN and without international observation, the question that everyone is asking is not who will win the elections, but what will be the political and economic consequences of the fourth re-election of Daniel Ortega without national and international legitimacy.
