Hello, this is a formal request for a Nicaragua struggle session.

I have seen some support Ortega, I have seen some say he's become more of a neoliberal. Many former FSLN leaders have criticized him. There are also the ongoing protests.

I am not familiar with Nicaraguan politics too much, so I am hoping people can help me to understand the situation there.

    the From Below Podcast did a two part series on Nicaragua where they interviewed some Nicaraguans who have ties to the Sandinistas:

    It's been a while since I listened to it so I don't remember the details, but it is an anarchist podcast so as you can imagine it is pretty critical of Ortega and the FSLN overall. From what I can remember, Ortega has been pretty shitty on women's rights issues.
