Nicaragua Debates Constitutional Reforms
Managua - Political and legal forces, as
well as those from other Nicaraguan sectors,
are debating on Tuesday the approval of
constitutional reforms to allow re-election
to public posts, included the country's
presidency.
People's attention has focused for several
months on the issue, due to the controversy
sparked off among those who support a
constitutional change or and those who
oppose it.
The liberals do not support a change that
allows President Daniel Ortega to present
his candidacy for re-election for the
Sandinista National Liberation Front.
According to analysts, legislators and main
leaders of a divided liberal opposition are
struggling so that there is no change in the
country.
Electoral Supreme Council President Roberto
Rivas said on Monday he was in favor of
including continuous re-election and the
concept of revocation in the Constitution. |
