| Description | (Angus Reid - CPOD Global Scan) – Many adults in Nicaragua reject a former president’s threat to "put and end to the current administration," according to a poll by M&R published in La Prensa Gráfica. 77 per cent of respondents disagree with the statement by Daniel Ortega of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).
In 2001, Enrique Bolaños—candidate for the ruling Constitutionalist Liberal Party (PLC)—was elected with 56.3 per cent of the vote over Ortega. The president lost the support of the PLC in January 2002, when his government decided to take legal action against former president Arnoldo Alemán. Last year, Alemán—who governed the country from 1997 to 2002—was sentenced to 20 years in prison for fraud, money laundering and embezzlement. |
