The Pulse of Democracy in the Americas: Results of the 2023 AmericasBarometer

This finding was among the key insights revealed during the highly anticipated launch of the 2023 AmericasBarometer.

Nicaragua 2024 – Between the Silenced Majority and the Critical Constituency

Dictatorial repression in 2024 will continue to cause irreversible social losses in Nicaragua. Thanks to migration and the flow of remittances, the economy will grow by inertia and not due to the economic policies from the Christian and solidarity-based government.

El informe del FMI ignora que en Nicaragua hay una “captura del Estado”

La reciente declaración final del equipo técnico del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) pone de relieve hechos e inconsistencias en la redacción del documento, pero también crea la oportunidad para que la misión del FMI tome en serio su propio diagnóstico y recomendaciones y realice una evaluación sobre las vulnerabilidades de la gobernabilidad y confirme que en Nicaragua se ha producido una “captura del Estado.” De otra forma las consecuencias de su aval al régimen Ortega-Murillo serán devastadoras para los nicaragüenses y para la credibilidad del FMI.
