A cornered regime is shooting at a mounting civic revolution
The exploding insurrection of consciousness in April
has unexpectedly only grown despite the military response.
Whether in street mobilizations, highway blockades or dialogue,
everyone is demanding the same thing: justice and democracy.
The Ortega-Murillo regime’s answer has been injustice and repression,
only losing it more supporters and adding more calls for their departure.
Internationally, above all in the Organization of American States,
awareness is growing of what has been happening,
what’s happening now, and what could happen
if the crisis in Nicaragua drags out.

Roadmap to democratization
At the third National Dialogue session on May 23,

the civic insurrection is proposing
is both legal and constitutional.

Dozens dead, hundreds wounded or detained, plus torture and censorship...
Returning to Washington after his observation visit to Nicaragua,
IACHR Executive Secretary Paulo Abrão told international media that
an atmosphere of “intimidation and harassment is installed in Nicaragua
against students, human rights defenders and people from civil society
who take to the streets.”
He added that “the region is not yet sufficiently attentive
to what is happening in Nicaragua.”
The following is the preliminary IACHR report published on May 21.... continuar...

Are April and May’s “vandals” Reparto Schick gang members?
In the bloodiest days of April and since,
Daniel Ortega blamed neighborhood gangs
for the violence and looting in the streets.
His barely credible words opened the door
for paid “gang members” to ransack
supermarkets and local businesses
and for a climate of chaos that still blankets the country.
I can shed no light on whether these mercenary thugs
have ties to any of Nicaragua’s “traditional” gangs.
But I can say whether those purported ties
involved gangs from Reparto Schick.... continuar...

The end of post-neoliberalism
The end of Latin America’s progressive governments
permits us to see how they administered a project
that wasn’t post-capitalist, but merely post-neoliberal.
Those governments themselves surreptitiously introduced
the “conservative restoration” they are denouncing today
and were the ones who paved the way for it in their countries..
