History

Modern times

In 2021, Nicaragua celebrated the 42nd annniversary of their Sandinista Revolution, celebrating victories such as the implementation of free universal healthcare, free education, new high-quality infrastructure, the empowerment of women and youth, as well as the strengthening of Nicaragua on a global stage.[1] In a speech, Vice President Murillo called poverty a "diabolical imperialist threat," referencing how the West is engaging in economic warfare (sanctions) in an effort to foment regime change.[2]

The 2021 Nicaraguan general election is scheduled for November 7th, where the socialist FSLN party is expected to win by an overwhelming margin. The imperialist aggressors will likely denounce the election and try to foment dissent against the popularly elected government.
