Managua. El presidente de Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, quien busca este domingo un cuarto mandato consecutivo con la mayoría de sus rivales detenidos, aseguró que las elecciones en su país han “desafiado” a sus opositores, a quienes acusó de promover “el terrorismo” y conspirar contra la paz.

“Este día (estamos) desafiando a los que promueven el terrorismo, financian la guerra, a los que sembraron el terror, la muerte” en las protestas contra el gobierno de 2018, dijo Ortega en un acto en Managua, tras votar junto a su esposa Rosario Murillo.
