Summary
Nicaragua’s legislature has amended the constitution to give President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, “absolute power,” officially naming her “co-president” and consolidating control over all state branches.
The reform extends presidential terms from five to six years and tightens control over media, the Church, and political opponents.
Critics, including the UN, warn this dismantles democracy and entrenches dictatorship.
The government has already jailed dissidents, exiled critics, and revoked citizenship from opponents, sparking global condemnation.
Judging by the picture: Is the wife trying to find an emperor that turned into a llama?
Man I’m Nicaraguan, I’ve lived abroad for a while now in Europe and I find it hilarious that everyone instantly associates her with yzma when I show pictures of them two just like all Nicaraguans do xD
As another curiosity there’s a church in Nicaragua that has a painting from the early 20th century where the devil appears and he literally looks like Ortega, I guess them two are a perfect match
Do you have any idea how bad it hurts to snort laugh while hitting a vape? Do you?
I guess not as much as pulling the wrong lever.
I can’t fucking breathe omg
