The constitutional reform approved by Nicaragua's parliament grants President Daniel Ortega an extended six-year term and elevates his wife Rosario Murillo to 'co-president', enabling tighter personal control.
This recent amendment has been criticized by international observers as a blatant move towards cementing a 'marital dictatorship', with significant implications for democratic governance and civil liberties.
Luis Almagro of the Organization of American States condemned the amendment, labeling it an 'aberrant form of institutionalizing the marital dictatorship', highlighting the significant opposition to the reform.
The new constitutional changes not only enhance the power of the Ortega-Murillo duo but also increase state control over military, police, and media, undermining democratic foundations.
