Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide a scholarly analysis of the consequences for personal security and human rights of the petrification of the authoritarian Sandinista regime in Nicaragua from 2018 to the present. The author aims to identify the main threats to the most oppressive political regime in contemporary Latin America. The paper demonstrates that the authoritarian acceleration of remarkably undemocratic reforms in the country reflects the deep concern of the ruling camp, particularly the ruling Ortega Murillo duumvirate, about the potential consolidation of social resistance. It also highlights that mass human rights violations, accompanied by the complementary closure of all facets of civil society, directly serve to strengthen the ruling regime's resilience.
