AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoElections Scrapped: Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega declared there will be “no more elections” in the country, saying opposition parties backed by the U.S. and the Somoza legacy will “never” return to power, and that his government will work with the National Assembly to pass new laws to block “coup plotters.” The announcement effectively cancels the next electoral cycle set for 2027 after 2025 constitutional changes extended his term and made Rosario Murillo co-president. U.S. and Regional Pushback: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as proof of Ortega’s “authoritarian nature,” urging international action and even calling for isolating Nicaragua; U.S. senators Jeanne Shaheen and Rick Scott echoed that free elections are the “bedrock” of democracy. Diplomatic Fallout: Panama called in its ambassador to Managua over Ortega’s election remarks, while international rights and church voices also raised alarms, including reports about the disappearance of Catholic Bishop Abelardo Mata. Public Scene Tensions: A video from Revolution Day showing Rosario Murillo directing her daughter, Camila Ortega, during her speech sparked online debate about the family’s power dynamics.
