The real issue in Nicaragua is Trump’s ‘regime change’ agenda: a response to "Nicaragua - Jeremy Corbyn must end his silence over the country’s repressive regime"

and condemn what she calls Daniel Ortega’s ‘repressive regime’

TcS editorial note - This account is from a US solidarity activist who has done community work for over twenty years in Nicaragua. She has had to contribute this account anonymously so as to protect her family from the very real threat of harrassment and intimidation at the hands of aggressive opposition activists in her barrio. We think this is an important text to show how completely false opposition claims of widespread government repression really are.
