Nicaragua's Ortega Proposes Constitutional Reform for Co-Presidency with Rosario Murillo and Six-Year Terms
Nov 20, 2024, 07:05 PM
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has proposed a constitutional reform that would significantly expand presidential powers. The reform aims to establish a 'co-president' and a 'co-presidenta,' effectively elevating Vice President Rosario Murillo, Ortega's wife, to a dual leadership role. Additionally, the proposal seeks to extend presidential terms from four to six years, further consolidating power within the executive branch. This move has raised concerns regarding increased state control over the media and the overall political landscape in Nicaragua.
