President Daniel Ortega wants to be re-elected although the Nicaraguan constitution strictly prohibits it.
He has ruled by decree that key government officials such as supreme court judges and electoral comission magistrates can continue in their posts even after their terms have run out, wihout ratification from congress. Opposition parlamentarians are furious and were locked out of the parliament building and then layed siege to, at their party headquarters by sandinista supporters.
Turbas a favor de Daniel Ortega sitiaron la ciudad y a la asamblea legislativa. Despues atacaron a los diputados de la oposición en el Hotel Holiday Inn.
