Liderul unei țări interzice oficial alegerile: „Avem nevoie de un zid!” / Motivul invocat de dictator
Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega announced the cancellation of future elections to prevent opposition from gaining power, marking a shift to a family dictatorship. Ortega, in power since 2007, stated that new laws will be enacted to create barriers against dissent. This decision follows a history of democratic erosion and repression in the country, with Ortega's regime facing criticism for human rights violations and the imprisonment of political opponents. The announcement has been interpreted as a significant escalation in authoritarianism, as Ortega aims to eliminate electoral competition entirely.
