He imprisoned anyone who would run against him, which is in line with his recent change in behavior. Over the last few years he's implemented austerity measures, gunned down people who protested that, burn down rain-forests, dedicated giant expensive trees to his Wife, is disappearing and torturing descenters.
can't vouch for this subreddit, but maybe they can give better sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/frombelownicaragua/comments/qp0pj3/leftist_resources_on_nicaragua/
I've been wanting to do a more advanced research project on the subject for a long time now, but I haven't had the free time for it. Usually what happens is that US media sources parrot a single fact (a mostly true, unpolitical fact), with almost no information, some "tankie" types blindly defend Ortega because they remember that one time something happened in the 80s, then breitbart runs a virtue signal headline calling Ortega socialist, but basically zero socialists actually have anything to say about him on the English speaking internet, in regards to anything that's happened in the last 5 years.
But the simple truth is that Ortega implemented austerity measures in 2018, killed protestors over it, and things are kind of getting worse. Most people talking about "socialism" or "imperialism" or "color revolutions" are overpoliticizing Ortega just being a dictator and bad person.
While left voice is a reasonably good site, this particular author is pretty Sus. He’s opposed the Cuban Government on their stance against an obvious CIA astroturfed movement, and his first claim to fame is anti-Maduro propaganda. Not the best source, I saw you linked other articles to someone else so I’ll read those too
What are the specific accusations lol

https://www.leftvoice.org/nicaragua-an-orchestrated-election-day-for-president-ortega/ this has a link to a Spanish translation at the bottom.
That's fucked, and if this is true, Ortega has to be trampled by a worker's revolution.
After the US empire has fallen.
It’s not true.
Okay, user on hexbear.net, i'm going to believe you, because i have every reason to believe strangers on the internet.
Well, the other user hasn’t posted evidence from a non western source either
Yes. that's why i prefixed what i said with "if that's true."
Well, don’t believe what a gusano has to say. Support anti imperialist third world nations.
"After the US empire has fallen."

I’m not gonna trust a random person’s anecdote with absolutely no proof to back it up.

He didn't imprison anyone running for President.
Even if he did nothing wrong with that IMO
ARE THERE ELECTIONS FOR THE FASCISTS? DO THEY GET TO HAVE THEIR NEWSPAPERS?
There’s no such thing as a free election.
yeah he did, do literally any research at all
Cry about it https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06MANAGUA2434_a.html
wow that wikileak from 2006 sure does refute the easily verified mass murders by Ortega in 2018.
Gonna link to the Guardian again?
gonna link to a wikileak cable from 1980s?
It's ok to collaborate with the worst government to ever exist as long as it was a while ago!
The party you're crying over supported the Fascist Bolivian coup.
what party?
Sandinista Renovation Movement
