Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega has formally moved to abolish competitive elections and institutionalize a one-party state, effectively transitioning the country into a de jure dictatorship. This action has drawn strong condemnation from the U.S., OAS, and Costa Rica, signaling a definitive breakdown in diplomatic relations and increased international pressure. The regime aims to consolidate power and pivot towards a Chinese-backed economic model to mitigate US-led sanctions.
