Despite the state compaction that the ruling Sandinista Front has applied since August of this year, leaving thousands of Nicaraguans unemployed, the recent reform of the Political Constitution of Nicaragua, sent this week to the National Assembly, orders the creation of two positions that will generate waste for the Nicaraguan treasury.
The changes imposed by the dictators Ortega and Murillo in the reform of the Political Constitution of Nicaragua include modifications to articles 133 and 138, which establish the figures of co-president and co-president, who will also have the power to appoint their respective vice presidents.

The country, with these changes, will go from having a single president and vice president to having two co-presidents and at least two vice presidents, since it does not limit the number of people in that position.
Article 133, according to the reform sent by the dictator Ortega, establishes that “the Presidency of the Republic is made up of a co-president and a co-president, who are elected through universal, equal, direct, free and secret suffrage, being elected those who obtain the relative majority of votes.
While article 138 orders that “the co-presidents may appoint vice-presidents who will perform the functions assigned to them.”
Almost 100 thousand dollars annually for new positions
The dictators Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, according to an investigation published in 2018 by Confidencial, together earned a salary of $8,325 per month. The general data was taken from the report of the Nicaraguan Social Security Institute (INSS).

The two new positions created by the leaders of the Sandinista Front in the reforms to the Political Constitution of Nicaragua, if they earned the same monthly sums from the couple in power, would represent a waste of $99,900 annually from the state coffers.
The income of the dictators Ortega and Murillo could be greater than those reported to Social Security, taking into account the series of companies they have set up in the country, the media they control, and that receive contracting awards from the institutions. of the State of Nicaragua.
