Daniel Ortega, the 80-year-old authoritarian leader, says move will ‘build a wall’ against the opposition

Nicaragua’s long-serving president, Daniel Ortega, has said the country will hold no further elections to prevent the opposition from coming to power.

The 80-year-old authoritarian leader, who has been in office since 2007, also said he would work with the congress he controls to pass new laws that would “build a wall” against the opposition.

Seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten regiert Ortega in dem Land. Nun kündigt er Gesetze an, um von den USA unterstützte „Putschisten“ zu stoppen. Ein Machtwechsel soll damit unmöglich werden.
