However, they will be affected, due to price issues, of around 6.5 million dollars, of which 55% will be assumed by private cane producers and the remaining 45% by the country’s four mills. An economist said, on condition of anonymity, that the restrictions on businessmen, allies of Daniel Ortega, could worsen if there is no political change in Nicaragua.
A report prepared by the Center for Transdisciplinary Studies of Central America (cetcam) pointed out that the illegitimate president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, benefits from the political map of Latin America, since his new leftist governments, although they do not support his totalitarian drift, do not condemn it either.
The document called “Regional political reconfigurations and authoritarian radicalization” highlights that, in general terms, “Ortega is in a more comfortable position for his dictatorial claims in the new Latin American political map.”
The center of thought indicates that the installation of governments qualified as leftist or progressive, such as that of Gabriel Boric in Chile, Xiomara Castro in Honduras, Gustavo Petro in Colombia, and the probable election of Luis Lula da Silva in Brazil, will probably not be align with the regime, but “neither will they follow a proactive line of denunciations and condemnations” of the repressive situation in Nicaragua and the illegitimate nature of Ortega.
