It's just the fear of losing real elections

Constitution

That elections can not be advanced, says the regime. Whoa! That the Political Constitution says that they are until 2021. And that can not be changed. Wait … Are not they the ones who threw the Constitution in one night for Daniel Ortega to be re-elected? Was it the others who kept the judges in office with expired deadlines that went against the meaning of the Constitution? Is it not the same political constitution that prohibits the police and the military from engaging in partisan activities? Is not it the fox that went into the henhouse, a butcher shop, and still with the feathers in his mouth said he was the hens' defender?

Legalities

Despite their argument, I have news for them: they do not even have to violate the Constitution to go ahead with the elections. The advancement of elections is perfectly legal. It is enough to make the reforms and fulfill the conditions required by the same Constitution and already.

Referendum

And if they still can not see it, there is another shortcut to explore: the referendum. The Political Constitution of Nicaragua envisages by referendum among its "fundamental principles". "The sovereign power is exercised by the people through its representatives freely chosen by universal, equal, direct and secret suffrage, without any other person or badembly of persons being able to claim this representation. directly by referendum and plebiscite. "That's it. See what can be done?

Rescue

The problem is not that here the idea comes to advance the presidential elections. It's not a question of me putting myself. There is a crisis. The boat Daniel Ortega handled made water. It flows. The progress of the elections is imposed as a rescue operation for this country that goes to the bottom. Every day in power, Ortega will do more harm to Nicaragua. It's like cancer. And every day without him, it can be a day of recovery. Elections are the rescue operation. The extirpation of the tumor.

The differences

Elections are the peaceful and civilized way to resolve disputes. And the differences here can reach the point of increasing the number of deaths or violence. Something that, presumably, nobody wants. Some say that Daniel Ortega won "with a large majority" and that his opponents are puchitos, a resentful minority. On the other hand, we believe things have changed and Ortega has only the crackdown to keep up. That it is an abduction, not a government. Well, let's solve the problem as a civilized people: let's vote. Let us ensure that free, transparent and protected elections soon produce a government that enjoys the legitimacy of the majority. Only those who know they are in the minority would seek to avoid this solution.

Somoza

Even in that they are similar. In 1979, during the war, Anastasio Somoza declared that he had to complete his constitutional mandate of government in 1981. As if the crisis had understood the constitutional periods. In 1989, the same Daniel Ortega, with the same constitution, advanced the elections. The difference with now is that, at the time, I thought I had everything to win. The polls revealed that the Sandinistas were in the majority and that, to advance the elections, it took time for the opposition to organize. Somoza was unable to surrender in 1981 because he had to leave prematurely in July 79 and had already died by the time "his constitutional period" was over. We know that the shot turned in Ortega and that Violeta Doña lost the choice that he was supposed to have in the bag.

The fear

The government's refusal to proceed with the elections is not illegal. First because the donkey will not come to talk about the ears. Second, because he knows that the advance can be perfectly legal. If you do not want to advance the elections, it's just because you know you're going to lose them. It's the fear. Point
