Ortega Proposes Constitutional Reform for Co-Presidency, Interoceanic Canal with China
Nov 20, 2024, 09:36 PM
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has proposed a constitutional reform that would extend presidential terms to six years and establish a 'co-president' position, elevating Vice President Rosario Murillo, his wife, to this role. The reform aims to consolidate Ortega's control over the state, including the media, and to subordinate all branches of government to the executive. Additionally, Ortega has revived the idea of an interoceanic canal through Nicaragua, offering the project to Chinese investors to avoid the water flow issues faced by the Panama Canal. The Organization of American States (OAS) has criticized the move as an attempt by Ortega to perpetuate his power.
