Following the resignation of centrist members from this Junta, the FSLN took exclusive power in March 1981.

This was the first act of a series that Somoza, with help from the U.S., would take that would culminate in his election as president in 1936. The result of his election was the start of the U.S. sponsored dictatorship of the Somoza family.<a href="#cite_note-36">[35]</a> During the 1960s, leftist ideas began spreading worldwide, sparking independence movements in different colonial territories. On 1 January 1959 in <a href="/wiki/Havana" title="Havana">Havana</a>, Cuban revolutionaries fought against dictator <a href="/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista" title="Fulgencio Batista">Fulgencio Batista</a>. In <a href="/wiki/Algeria" title="Algeria">Algeria</a> the <a href="/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_(Algeria)" title="National Liberation Front (Algeria)">Algerian National Liberation Front</a> was founded to fight against French colonial control. In Nicaragua, different movements that opposed the Somoza dynasty began to unite, forming the Nicaraguan National Liberation Front which would later be renamed the Sandinista National Liberation Front. The economic situation of Nicaragua in the mid-20th century had deteriorated as the prices of agricultural exports such as <a href="/wiki/Cotton" title="Cotton">cotton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Coffee" title="Coffee">coffee</a> dropped. Politically, the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(Nicaragua)" title="Conservative Party (Nicaragua)">conservative party of Nicaragua</a> split and one of the factions, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Zancudos&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Zancudos (page does not exist)">Zancudos</a>, began collaborating with the Somoza regime. <a href="/wiki/Anastasio_Somoza_Garc%C3%ADa" title="Anastasio Somoza García">Anastasio Somoza Garcia</a> was assassinated by poet <a href="/wiki/Rigoberto_L%C3%B3pez_P%C3%A9rez" title="Rigoberto López Pérez">Rigoberto Lopez Perez</a> in 1956. In 1957 Carlos Fonseca Amador, Silvio Mayorga, Tomás Borge, Oswaldo Madriz y Heriberto Carrillo formed the first cell of the Nicaraguan Revolutionary Committee who identified with the issues of the proletariat. Later that October, the Mexican cell was formed with members such as <a href="/wiki/Ed%C3%A9n_Pastora" title="Edén Pastora">Edén Pastora Gómez</a>, Juan José Ordóñez, Roger Hernández, Porfirio Molina y Pedro José Martínez Alvarado.

After "El Chaparral", several more armed rebellions took place. In August the journalist Manuel Díaz y Sotelo died; in September Carlos "Chale" Haslam died; in December Heriberto Reyes (Colonel of the <a href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ej%C3%A9rcito_Defensor_de_la_Soberan%C3%ADa_Nacional" class="extiw" title="es:Ejército Defensor de la Soberanía Nacional">Defensive Army of National Sovereignty</a>) died. The following year the events of "El Dorado" (February 28, 1960) took place where several events occurred<a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> leading to several deaths including Luis Morales, Julio Alonso Leclair (head of the September 15 column), Manuel Baldizón and Erasmo Montoya. The conventional opposition, up to that point led by the <a href="/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Nicaragua" title="Communist Party of Nicaragua">Nicaraguan Communist Party</a>, had not been able to form a common front against the dictatorship. The opposition to the dictatorship was established around various student organizations. Among its leaders, <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Fonseca" title="Carlos Fonseca">Carlos Fonseca Amador</a> in the early 1960s. At the start of 1961 the New Nicaragua Movement (NNM) was founded by prominent leaders in education like Carlos Fonseca, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Silvio_Mayorga&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Silvio Mayorga (page does not exist)">Silvio Mayorga</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tom%C3%A1s_Borge" title="Tomás Borge">Tomás Borge</a>, Gordillo, Navarro y Francisco Buitrago; prominent leaders on workers issues such as <a href="/w/index.php?title=Jose_Benito_Escobar&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jose Benito Escobar (page does not exist)">Jose Benito Escobar</a>; countryside leaders like <a href="/w/index.php?title=Germ%C3%A1n_Pomares&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Germán Pomares (page does not exist)">Germán Pomares</a> and small business leaders such as Julio Jerez Suárez. Legendary guerilla veteran Santos Lopez, who fought with Augusto Cesar Sandino, also participated in the NNM. The New Nicaragua Movement was established in three cities Managua, Leon and <a href="/wiki/Estel%C3%AD" title="Estelí">Estelí</a>, however they were generally stationed in Honduras. Their first public activity was held in March 1961, in support of the Cuban revolution and in protest of the position that the Nicaraguan government held with Cuba. The NNM later dissolved to make way for the National Liberation Front. The New Nicaragua Movement soon dissolved with its members forming the National Liberation Front, FLN. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Founding_(1961–1970)">Founding (1961–1970)</h3>[<a

A congress or assembly is not formed between all the prominent leaders of the various groups as the preparation would have required a prior theoretical process in order to create them. As a result, the FSLN was not prepared for its own formation. Different discussions took place within the group as they came to a consensus on political ideas. Even in 1963, while still under the name of FLN, there was a lack of internal coherence in political ideas (this can be seen in the publication of the newspaper Trinchera). The first few years were carried by some basic shared values of all the forces that were being integrated. Some of these basic shared ideas was to imitate the success of the Cuban Revolution, the ineffectiveness of the conventional opposition to the Somoza regime and the need to remain independent of them (referring to the from the conservative, liberal and communist parties), the need for a revolutionary movement that would use the armed struggle as opposition to the Somoza dictatorship, and after some discussion, identification with Sandino's struggle. It was not until 1969 that any programmatic document was published. The Sandinista National Liberation Front was supposedly founded in a meeting in Tegucigalpa (Honduras) between Carlos Fonseca, Tomás Borge, and Silvio Mayorga. It's even been said that the meeting was held on July 19, 1961. In reality, there is no documentary reference that supports this affirmation, with the first news of this meeting and date surfacing after the revolutionary triumph of 1979. The term "Sandinista" was adopted two years later, establishing continuity with Sandino's movement, and using his legacy to develop the newer movement's ideology and strategy.<a href="#cite_note-41">[40]</a> By the early 1970s, the FSLN was launching limited military initiatives.<a href="#cite_note-guerillaWarfare-42">[41]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rise_(1970–1976)">Rise (1970–1976)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Rise (1970–1976)">edit</a>]</div> On December 23, 1972, a <a href="/wiki/1972_Nicaragua_earthquake" title="1972 Nicaragua earthquake">magnitude 6.2 earthquake</a> leveled the capital city, <a href="/wiki/Managua" title="Managua">Managua</a>.

By some estimates, his personal wealth rose to US$400 million in 1974.<a href="#cite_note-47">[46]</a> In December 1974, a guerrilla group affiliated with FSLN directed by Eduardo Contreras and Germán Pomares seized government hostages at a party in the house of the Minister of Agriculture in the Managua suburb Los Robles, among them several leading Nicaraguan officials and Somoza relatives. The siege was carefully timed to take place after the departure of the US ambassador from the gathering. At 10:50 pm, a group of 15 young guerrillas and their commanders, Pomares and Contreras, entered the house. They killed the minister, who tried to shoot them, during the takeover.<a href="#cite_note-guerillaWarfare-42">[41]</a> The guerrillas received US$2 million ransom, and had their official communiqué read on the radio and printed in the newspaper <a href="/wiki/La_Prensa_(Managua)" title="La Prensa (Managua)">La Prensa</a>.

Fonseca had returned to Nicaragua in 1975 from his exile in Cuba to try to reunite factions that existed in the FSLN.

The GPP was based on the "accumulation of forces in silence": while the urban organization recruited on the university campuses and robbed money from banks, the main <a href="/wiki/Professional_revolutionaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Professional revolutionaries">cadres</a> were to permanently settle in the north central mountain zone. There they would build a <a href="/wiki/Grassroots" title="Grassroots">grassroots</a> peasant support base in preparation for renewed rural <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerrilla warfare</a>.<a href="#cite_note-52">[51]</a> As a consequence of the repressive campaign of the National Guard, in 1975 a group within the FSLN's urban mobilization arm began to question the GPP's viability. In the view of the young orthodox <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxist</a> intellectuals, such as <a href="/wiki/Jaime_Wheelock" title="Jaime Wheelock">Jaime Wheelock</a>, economic development had turned Nicaragua into a nation of factory workers and wage-earning farm laborers.<a href="#cite_note-wheelock-53">[52]</a> Wheelock's faction was known as the "Proletarian Tendency". Shortly after, a third faction arose within the FSLN. The "Insurrectional Tendency", also known as the "Third Way" or Terceristas, led by <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Ortega" title="Daniel Ortega">Daniel Ortega</a>, his brother <a href="/wiki/Humberto_Ortega" title="Humberto Ortega">Humberto Ortega</a>, and Mexican-born Victor Tirado Lopez, was more pragmatic and called for tactical, temporary alliances with non-communists, including the <a href="/wiki/Right-wing" class="mw-redirect" title="Right-wing">right-wing</a> opposition, in a <a href="/wiki/Popular_front" title="Popular front">popular front</a> against the <a href="/wiki/Anastasio_Somoza_Debayle" title="Anastasio Somoza Debayle">Somoza</a> regime.<a href="#cite_note-ortega-54">[53]</a> By attacking the Guard directly, the Terceristas would demonstrate the regime's weakness and encourage others to take up arms. In October 1977, a group of prominent Nicaraguan professionals, business leaders, and clergymen allied with the Terceristas to form "El Grupo de <a href="/wiki/Los_Doce" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Doce">los Doce</a>" (The Group of Twelve) in <a href="/wiki/Costa_Rica" title="Costa Rica">Costa Rica</a>. The group's main idea was to organize a provisional government in Costa Rica.<a href="#cite_note-55">[54]</a> The Terceristas' new strategy also included unarmed strikes and rioting by labor and student groups coordinated by the FSLN's "United People's Movement" (Movimiento Pueblo Unido – MPU). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Insurrection_(1978)">Insurrection (1978)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Insurrection (1978)">edit</a>]</div> On January 10, 1978, <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Joaqu%C3%ADn_Chamorro_Cardenal" title="Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Cardenal">Pedro Joaquín Chamorro</a>, the editor of the opposition newspaper <a href="/wiki/La_Prensa_(Managua)" title="La Prensa (Managua)">La Prensa</a> and leader of the "Democratic Union of Liberation" (Unión Democrática de Liberación – UDEL), was assassinated. His assassins were not identified at the time, but evidence implicated Somoza's son and other members of the National Guard.<a href="#cite_note-56">[55]</a> Spontaneous riots followed in several cities, while the business community organized a general strike demanding Somoza's resignation. The Terceristas carried out attacks in early February in several Nicaraguan cities. The National Guard responded by further increasing repression and using force to contain and intimidate all government opposition. The nationwide strike that paralyzed the country for ten days weakened private enterprises and most of them decided to suspend their participation in less than two weeks. Meanwhile, Somoza asserted his intention to stay in power until the end of his presidential term in 1981. The <a href="/wiki/Government_of_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Government of the United States">United States government</a> showed its displeasure with Somoza by suspending all military assistance to the regime, but continued to approve economic assistance to the country for <a href="/wiki/Humanitarian" class="mw-redirect" title="Humanitarian">humanitarian</a> reasons.<a href="#cite_note-57">[56]</a> In August, the Terceristas took hostages. Twenty-three Tercerista commandos led by <a href="/wiki/Ed%C3%A9n_Pastora" title="Edén Pastora">Edén Pastora</a> seized the entire Nicaraguan congress and took nearly 1,000 hostages, including Somoza's nephew José Somoza Abrego and cousin Luis Pallais Debayle. Somoza gave in to their demands and paid a $500,000 ransom, released 59 political prisoners (including GPP chief <a href="/wiki/Tom%C3%A1s_Borge" title="Tomás Borge">Tomás Borge</a>), broadcast a communiqué with FSLN's call for general insurrection and gave the guerrillas safe passage to Panama.<a href="#cite_note-58">[57]</a> A few days later six Nicaraguan cities rose in revolt.

The moderate "Broad Opposition Front" (Frente Amplio Opositor – FAO), which opposed Somoza, was made up of a conglomeration of dissidents within the government as well as the "Democratic Union of Liberation" (UDEL) and the "Twelve", representatives of the Terceristas (whose founding members included Casimiro A. Sotelo, later to become Ambassador to the U.S. and Canada representing the FSLN). The FAO and Carter came up with a plan to remove Somoza from office but give the FSLN no government power.<a href="#cite_note-pastor-61">[60]</a> The FAO's efforts lost political legitimacy, as the grassroots support of the FSLN wanted more structural changes and was opposed to "Somocism without Somoza".<a href="#cite_note-62">[61]</a> The "Twelve" abandoned the coalition in protest and formed the "National Patriotic Front" (Frente Patriotico Nacional – FPN) together with the "United People's Movement" (MPU). This strengthened the revolutionary organizations as tens of thousands of youths joined the FSLN and the fight against Somoza. A direct consequence of the spread of the armed struggle in Nicaragua was the official reunification of the FSLN that took place March 7, 1979.

On June 16, the formation of a provisional Nicaraguan government in exile, consisting of a five-member <a href="/wiki/Junta_of_National_Reconstruction" title="Junta of National Reconstruction">Junta of National Reconstruction</a>, was announced and organized in Costa Rica.

On July 9, the provisional government in exile released a government program in which it pledged to organize an effective democratic regime, promote political pluralism and universal suffrage, and ban ideological discrimination, except for those promoting the "return of Somoza's rule". On July 17, Somoza resigned, handed over power to <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Urcuyo" title="Francisco Urcuyo">Francisco Urcuyo</a>, and fled to <a href="/wiki/Miami" title="Miami">Miami</a>.

On July 19, the 18th anniversary of the foundation of the FSLN, the FSLN army entered Managua, culminating the first goal of the revolution. The war left 30,000–50,000 dead and 150,000 Nicaraguans in exile. The five-member junta entered Managua the next day and assumed power, reiterating its pledge to work for political pluralism, a mixed economic system, and a nonaligned foreign policy.<a href="#cite_note-64">[63]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sandinista_rule_(1979–1990)">Sandinista rule (1979–1990)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Sandinista rule (1979–1990)">edit</a>]</div> The Sandinistas inherited a country with a debt of US$1.6 billion, an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 war dead, 600,000 homeless, and a devastated economic infrastructure.<a href="#cite_note-65">[64]</a><a href="#cite_note-66">[65]</a> To begin establishing a new government, they created a Council (or junta) of National Reconstruction, made up of five appointed members.

Only three votes were needed to pass law. The FSLN also established a Council of State, subordinate to the junta, which was composed of representative bodies. But the Council of State gave political parties only 12 of 47 seats; the rest were given to Sandinista organizations.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-67">[66]</a> Of the 12 seats reserved for political parties, only three were not allied with the FSLN.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-67">[66]</a> Due to the rules governing the Council of State, in 1980 both non-FSLN junta members resigned. Nevertheless, as of the 1982 State of Emergency, opposition parties were no longer given representation in the council.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-67">[66]</a> The preponderance of power also remained with the Sandinistas through their mass organizations, including the Sandinista Workers' Federation (Central Sandinista de Trabajadores), the Luisa Amanda Espinoza Nicaraguan Women's Association (Asociación de Mujeres Nicaragüenses Luisa Amanda Espinoza), the National Union of Farmers and Ranchers (Unión Nacional de Agricultores y Ganaderos), and most importantly the Sandinista Defense Committees (CDS). The Sandinista-controlled mass organizations were extremely influential over civil society and saw their power and popularity peak in the mid-1980s.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated3-67">[66]</a> Upon assuming power, the FSLN's official political platform included nationalization of property owned by the Somozas and their supporters; land reform; improved rural and urban working conditions; free unionization for all workers, both urban and rural; price fixing for commodities of basic necessity; improved public services, housing conditions, education; abolition of torture, political assassination and the death penalty; protection of democratic liberties; equality for women; non-aligned foreign policy; and formation of a "popular army" under the leadership of the FSLN and Humberto Ortega. The FSLN's literacy campaign sent teachers into the countryside, and it has been claimed that within six months, half a million people had been taught rudimentary reading, bringing the national illiteracy rate down from over 50% to just under 12%.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute">dubious</a> – <a href="/wiki/Talk:Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front#Dubious" title="Talk:Sandinista National Liberation Front">discuss</a>] Over 100,000 Nicaraguans participated as literacy teachers.

Especially in the early days following Somoza's overthrow, the CDSes served as de facto units of local governance. Their obligations included political education, organizing Sandinista rallies, distributing food rations, organizing neighborhood/regional cleanup and recreational activities, policing to control looting, and apprehending counter-revolutionaries. The CDSes organized civilian defense efforts against Contra activities and a network of intelligence systems in order to apprehend their supporters. These activities led critics of the Sandinistas to argue that the CDS was a system of local spy networks for the government used to stifle political dissent, and the CDS did hold limited powers—such as the ability to suspend privileges such as driver licenses and passports—if locals refused to cooperate with the government. After the initiation of heavier U.S. military involvement in the Nicaraguan conflict the CDS was empowered to enforce wartime bans on political assembly and association with other political parties (i.e., parties associated with the Contras).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] By 1980, conflicts began to emerge between the Sandinista and non-Sandinista members of the governing junta. <a href="/wiki/Violeta_Chamorro" title="Violeta Chamorro">Violeta Chamorro</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_Robelo" title="Alfonso Robelo">Alfonso Robelo</a> resigned from the junta in 1980, and rumors began that members of the Ortega junta would consolidate power among themselves.

In 1979 and 1980, former Somoza supporters and ex-members of Somoza's National Guard formed irregular military forces, while the original core of the FSLN began to splinter. Armed opposition to the Sandinista government eventually divided into two main groups: The Fuerza Democrática Nicaragüense (FDN), a U.S.-supported army formed in 1981 by the CIA, U.S. State Department, and former members of the Somoza-era Nicaraguan National Guard; and the Alianza Revolucionaria Democratica (ARDE) <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Revolutionary_Alliance" title="Democratic Revolutionary Alliance">Democratic Revolutionary Alliance</a>, a group that had existed since before the FSLN and was led by Sandinista founder and former FSLN supreme commander <a href="/wiki/Ed%C3%A9n_Pastora" title="Edén Pastora">Edén Pastora</a>, a.k.a. "Commander Zero".<a href="#cite_note-69">[68]</a> Milpistas, former anti-Somoza rural militias, eventually formed the largest pool of recruits for the <a href="/wiki/Contras" title="Contras">Contras</a>. Although independent and often in conflict with each other, these guerrilla bands—along with several others—all became known as Contras (short for contrarrevolucionarios—counter-revolutionaries).<a href="#cite_note-70">[69]</a> The opposition militias were initially organized and largely remained segregated according to regional affiliation and political backgrounds. They conducted attacks on economic, military, and civilian targets. During the Contra war, the Sandinistas arrested suspected members of the Contra militias and censored publications they accused of collaborating with the enemy, such as the U.S., the FDN, and ARDE. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="State_of_Emergency_(1982–1988)">State of Emergency (1982–1988)</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: State of Emergency (1982–1988)">edit</a>]</div> In March 1982 the Sandinistas declared an official State of Emergency. They argued that this was a response to attacks by counter-revolutionary forces.<a href="#cite_note-Prevost_153-71">[70]</a> The State of Emergency lasted six years, until January 1988, when it was lifted. Under the new "Law for the Maintenance of Order and Public Security" the "Tribunales Populares Anti-Somocistas" allowed for the indefinite holding of suspected counter-revolutionaries without trial. The State of Emergency, however, most notably affected rights and guarantees contained in the "Statute on Rights and Guarantees of Nicaraguans".<a href="#cite_note-reds-72">[71]</a> Many civil liberties were curtailed or canceled such as the freedom to organize demonstrations, the inviolability of the home, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and the freedom to strike.<a href="#cite_note-reds-72">[71]</a> All independent news program broadcasts were suspended. In total, twenty-four programs were cancelled. In addition, Sandinista censor Nelba Cecilia Blandón issued a decree ordering all radio stations to take broadcasts from government radio station La Voz de La Defensa de La Patria every six hours.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated5-73">[72]</a> The rights affected also included certain procedural guarantees in the case of detention including <a href="/wiki/Habeas_corpus" title="Habeas corpus">habeas corpus</a>.<a href="#cite_note-reds-72">[71]</a> The State of Emergency was not lifted during the <a href="/wiki/1984_Nicaraguan_general_election" title="1984 Nicaraguan general election">1984 elections</a>. There were many instances where rallies of opposition parties were physically broken up by <a href="/wiki/Sandinista_Youth" title="Sandinista Youth">Sandinista Youth</a> or pro-Sandinista mobs. Opponents to the State of Emergency argued its intent was to crush resistance to the FSLN. James Wheelock justified the actions of the Directorate by saying "... We are annulling the license of the false prophets and the oligarchs to attack the revolution."<a href="#cite_note-envio53-74">[73]</a> Some emergency measures were taken before 1982. In December 1979 special courts called "Tribunales Especiales" were established to speed up the processing of 7,000-8,000 National Guard prisoners. These courts operated through relaxed rules of evidence and due process and were often staffed by law students and inexperienced lawyers. However, the decisions of the "Tribunales Especiales" were subject to appeal in regular courts. Many of the National Guard prisoners were released immediately due to lack of evidence. Others were pardoned or released by decree. By 1986 only 2,157 remained in custody and only 39 were still being held in 1989 when they were released under the Esquipulas II agreement.<a href="#cite_note-reds-72">[71]</a> On October 5, 1985, the Sandinistas broadened the 1982 State of Emergency and suspended many more civil rights. A new regulation also forced any organization outside of the government to first submit any statement it wanted to make public to the censorship bureau for prior approval.<a href="#cite_note-75">[74]</a> The FSLN lost power in the <a href="/wiki/1990_Nicaraguan_general_election" title="1990 Nicaraguan general election">presidential election of 1990</a> when Daniel Ortega was defeated in an election for the Presidency of Nicaragua by <a href="/wiki/Violeta_Chamorro" title="Violeta Chamorro">Violeta Chamorro</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sandinistas_vs._Contras">Sandinistas vs. Contras</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Sandinistas vs. Contras">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Contras" title="Contras">Contras</a> and <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair" title="Iran–Contra affair">Iran–Contra affair</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg/220px-Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg/330px-Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg/440px-Smoke_break_el_serrano_1987.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1160" data-file-height="792" /></a><figcaption>ARDE Frente Sur Contras in 1987</figcaption></figure> Upon assuming office in 1981, U.S. President <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> condemned the FSLN for joining with Cuba in supporting "Marxist" revolutionary movements in other Latin American countries such as <a href="/wiki/El_Salvador" title="El Salvador">El Salvador</a>. His administration authorized the <a href="/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency" title="Central Intelligence Agency">CIA</a> to begin financing, arming and training rebels, most of whom were the remnants of Somoza's National Guard, as anti-Sandinista guerrillas that were branded "counter-revolutionary" by leftists (contrarrevolucionarios in Spanish).<a href="#cite_note-CA-76">[75]</a> This was shortened to <a href="/wiki/Contras" title="Contras">Contras</a>, a label the force chose to embrace. <a href="/wiki/Ed%C3%A9n_Pastora" title="Edén Pastora">Edén Pastora</a> and many of the indigenous guerrilla forces, who were not associated with the "Somocistas", also resisted the Sandinistas.

The U.S. also sought to place economic pressure on the Sandinistas, and, as with Cuba, the <a href="/wiki/Reagan_administration" class="mw-redirect" title="Reagan administration">Reagan administration</a> imposed a full trade embargo.<a href="#cite_note-78">[77]</a> The Contras also carried out a systematic campaign to disrupt the social reform programs of the government. This campaign included attacks on schools, health centers and the majority of the rural population that was sympathetic to the Sandinistas. Widespread murder, rape, and torture were also used as tools to destabilize the government and to "terrorize" the population into collaborating with the Contras. Throughout this campaign, the Contras received military and financial support from the CIA and the Reagan Administration.<a href="#cite_note-79">[78]</a> This campaign has been condemned internationally for its many human rights violations. Contra supporters have often tried to downplay these violations, or countered that the Sandinista government carried out much more. In particular, the Reagan administration engaged in a campaign to alter public opinion on the Contras that has been termed "white propaganda".<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a> In 1984, the <a href="/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice" title="International Court of Justice">International Court of Justice</a> judged that the United States Government had been in violation of International law when it supported the Contras.<a href="#cite_note-name-81">[80]</a> After the U.S. Congress prohibited federal funding of the Contras through the <a href="/wiki/Boland_Amendment" title="Boland Amendment">Boland Amendment</a> in 1983, the Reagan administration continued to back the Contras by raising money from foreign allies and covertly selling arms to <a href="/wiki/Iran" title="Iran">Iran</a> (then engaged in a war with <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a>), and channelling the proceeds to the Contras (see the <a href="/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair" title="Iran–Contra affair">Iran–Contra affair</a>).<a href="#cite_note-82">[81]</a> When this scheme was revealed, Reagan admitted that he knew about Iranian "arms for hostages" dealings but professed ignorance about the proceeds funding the Contras; for this, <a href="/wiki/United_States_National_Security_Council" title="United States National Security Council">National Security Council</a> aide <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Colonel" class="mw-redirect" title="Lieutenant Colonel">Lt.

They argued that popular support was expressed in the insurrection and that further appeals to popular support would be a waste of scarce resources.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated6-89">[88]</a> International pressure and domestic opposition eventually pressed the government toward a national election.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated6-89">[88]</a> Tomás Borge warned that the elections were a concession, an act of generosity and of political necessity.<a href="#cite_note-90">[89]</a> On the other hand, the Sandinistas had little to fear from the election given the advantages of incumbency and the restrictions on the opposition, and they hoped to discredit the armed efforts to overthrow them.<a href="#cite_note-91">[90]</a> A broad range of political parties, ranging in political orientation from far-left to far-right, competed for power.<a href="#cite_note-92">[91]</a> Following promulgation of a new populist constitution, Nicaragua held national elections in 1984. Independent electoral observers from around the world—including groups from the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations">UN</a> as well as observers from <a href="/wiki/Western_Europe" title="Western Europe">Western Europe</a>—claimed that the elections had been fair.<a href="#cite_note-bbc19841105-93">[92]</a> Several groups, however, disputed this, including UNO, a broad coalition of anti-Sandinista activists, COSEP, an organization of business leaders, the Contra group "FDN", organized by former Somozan-era National Guardsmen, landowners, businessmen, peasant highlanders, and what some claimed as their patron, the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Government of the United States">U.S. government</a>.<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a> Although initially willing to stand in the 1984 elections, the UNO, headed by <a href="/wiki/Arturo_Cruz" title="Arturo Cruz">Arturo Cruz</a> (a former Sandinista), declined participation in the elections based on their own objections to the restrictions placed on the electoral process by the State of Emergency and the official advisement of President <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>'s <a href="/wiki/United_States_State_Department" class="mw-redirect" title="United States State Department">State Department</a>, who wanted to de-legitimize the election process. Among other parties that abstained was COSEP, who had warned the FSLN that they would decline participation unless freedom of the press was reinstituted. Coordinadora Democrática (CD) also refused to file candidates and urged Nicaraguans not to take part in the election. The Independent Liberal Party (PLI), headed by Virgilio Godoy Reyes, announced its refusal to participate in October.<a href="#cite_note-SandinistaYears-95">[94]</a> Consequently, when the elections went ahead the U.S. raised objections based upon political restrictions instituted by the State of Emergency (e.g., censorship of the press, cancellation of habeas corpus, and the curtailing of free assembly). Daniel Ortega and Sergio Ramírez were elected president and vice-president, and the FSLN won an overwhelming 61 out of 96 seats in the new <a href="/wiki/National_Assembly_of_Nicaragua" class="mw-redirect" title="National Assembly of Nicaragua">National Assembly</a>, having taken 67% of the vote on a turnout of 75%.<a href="#cite_note-SandinistaYears-95">[94]</a> Despite international validation of the elections by multiple political and independent observers (virtually all from among U.S. allies), the United States refused to recognize the elections, with President Ronald Reagan denouncing the elections as a sham. Daniel Ortega began his six-year presidential term on January 10, 1985. After the United States Congress turned down continued funding of the <a href="/wiki/Contras" title="Contras">Contras</a> in April 1985, the Reagan administration ordered a total embargo on United States trade with Nicaragua the following month, accusing the Sandinista government of threatening United States security in the region.<a href="#cite_note-SandinistaYears-95">[94]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1990_election">1990 election</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: 1990 election">edit</a>]</div> The elections of 1990, which had been mandated by the constitution passed in 1987, saw the Bush administration funnel $49.75 million of 'non-lethal' aid to the Contras, as well as $9 million to the opposition UNO—equivalent to $2 billion worth of intervention by a foreign power in a US election at the time, and proportionately five times the amount George Bush had spent on his own election campaign.<a href="#cite_note-96">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-97">[96]</a> When Violeta Chamorro visited the White House in November 1989, the US pledged to maintain the embargo against Nicaragua unless Violeta Chamorro won.<a href="#cite_note-98">[97]</a> There were reports of intimidation and violence during the election campaign by the contras,<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> with a Canadian observer mission claiming that 42 people were killed by the contras in "election violence" in October 1989.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> Sandinistas were also accused of intimidation and violence during the election campaign. According to the Puebla Institute, by mid-December 1989, seven opposition leaders had been murdered, 12 had disappeared, 20 had been arrested, and 30 others assaulted.

The treaty's provisions included a call for a cease-fire, freedom of expression, and national elections.

Reasons for the Sandinista loss in 1990 are disputed. Defenders of the defeated government assert that Nicaraguans voted for the opposition due to the continuing U.S. economic embargo and potential Contra threat. Others have alleged that the United States threatened to continue to support the Contras and continue the civil war if the regime was not voted out of power.<a href="#cite_note-103">[102]</a> After their loss, the Sandinista leaders held most of the private property and businesses that had been confiscated and nationalized by the FSLN government. This process became known as the "piñata" and was tolerated by the new Chamorro government. Ortega also claimed to "rule from below" through groups he controls such as labor unions and student groups. Ortega remained the head of the FSLN, but his brother Humberto resigned from the party and remained at the head of the Sandinista Army, becoming a close confidante and supporter of Chamorro. The party also experienced internal divisions, with prominent Sandinistas such as <a href="/wiki/Ernesto_Cardenal" title="Ernesto Cardenal">Ernesto Cardenal</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sergio_Ram%C3%ADrez" title="Sergio Ramírez">Sergio Ramírez</a> resigning to protest what they described as heavy-handed domination of the party by Daniel Ortega. Ramírez also founded a separate political party, the <a href="/wiki/Sandinista_Renovation_Movement" title="Sandinista Renovation Movement">Sandinista Renovation Movement</a> (MRS); his faction came to be known as the renovistas, who favor a more <a href="/wiki/Social_democracy" title="Social democracy">social democratic</a> approach than the ortodoxos, or hardliners. In the 1996 Nicaraguan election, Ortega and Ramírez both campaigned unsuccessfully as presidential candidates on behalf of their respective parties, with Ortega receiving 43% of the vote while <a href="/wiki/Arnoldo_Alem%C3%A1n" title="Arnoldo Alemán">Arnoldo Alemán</a> of the Constitutional Liberal Party received 51%. The Sandinistas won second place in the congressional elections, with 36 of 93 seats. Ortega was re-elected as leader of the FSLN in 1998. Municipal elections in November 2000 saw a strong Sandinista vote, especially in urban areas, and former Tourism Minister <a href="/wiki/Herty_Lewites" title="Herty Lewites">Herty Lewites</a> was elected mayor of Managua. This result led to expectations of a close race in the presidential elections scheduled for November 2001.

The results of <a href="/wiki/2001_Nicaraguan_general_election" title="2001 Nicaraguan general election">these elections</a> were that the FSLN won 42.6% of the vote for parliament (versus 52.6% for the PLC), giving them 41 out of the 92 seats in the National Assembly (versus 48 for the PLC). In the presidential race, Ortega lost to Bolaños 46.3% to 53.6%.

However, Lewites died several months before the elections. The FSLN also won 38 seats in the congressional elections, becoming the party with the largest representation in parliament. The split in the Constitutionalist Liberal Party helped to allow the FSLN to become the largest party in Congress. The Sandinista vote was also split between the FSLN and MRS, but the split was more uneven, with limited support for the MRS. The vote for the two liberal parties combined was larger than the vote for the two Sandinista parties. In 2010, several liberal congressmen raised accusations about the FSLN presumably attempting to buy votes in order to pass constitutional reforms that would allow Ortega to run for office for the 6th time since 1984.<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a> In 2011, Ortega was re-elected as president.<a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a> Ortega was allowed by Nicaraguan Supreme Court to run again as president, despite having already served two mandates, in a move which was strongly criticized by the opposition.

The ideology of Sandinismo gained momentum in 1974, when a Sandinista-initiated hostage situation resulted in the Somoza government adhering to FSLN demands and publicly printing and airing work on Sandino in well known newspapers and media outlets. During the struggle against <a href="/wiki/Anastasio_Somoza_Debayle" title="Anastasio Somoza Debayle">Somoza</a>, the FSLN leaders' internal disagreements over strategy and tactics were reflected in three main factions: <ul><li>The guerra popular prolongada (GPP, "<a href="/wiki/Protracted_people%27s_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Protracted people's war">protracted people's war</a>") faction was rural-based and sought long-term "silent accumulation of forces" within the country's large peasant population, which it saw as the main social base for the revolution.</li> <li>The tendencia proletaria (TP, "proletarian tendency"), led by <a href="/wiki/Jaime_Wheelock" title="Jaime Wheelock">Jaime Wheelock</a>, reflected an orthodox <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxist</a> approach that sought to organize urban workers.</li> <li>The tercerista/insurreccionista (TI, "third way/insurrectionist") faction, led by <a href="/wiki/Humberto_Ortega" title="Humberto Ortega">Humberto</a>, Casimiro A. Sotelo, and <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Ortega" title="Daniel Ortega">Daniel Ortega</a>, was ideologically eclectic, favoring a more rapid insurrectional strategy in alliance with diverse sectors of the country, including business owners, churches, students, the middle class, unemployed youth and the inhabitants of shantytowns. The terceristas also helped attract popular and international support by organizing a group of prominent Nicaraguan professionals, business leaders, and clergymen (known as "the Twelve"), who called for Somoza's removal and sought to organize a provisional government from Costa Rica.</li></ul> Nevertheless, while ideologies varied between FSLN leaders, all leaders essentially agreed that Sandino provided a path for the Nicaragua masses to take charge, and the FSLN would act as the legitimate vanguard. The extreme end of the ideology links Sandino to <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholicism" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholicism">Roman Catholicism</a> and portrays him as descending from the mountains in Nicaragua knowing he would be betrayed and killed. Generally however, most Sandinistas associated Sandino on a more practical level, as a heroic and honest person who tried to combat the evil forces of imperialist national and international governments that existed in Nicaragua's history. An important part of the Sandinista ideology is <a href="/wiki/Christian_socialism" title="Christian socialism">Christian socialism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Liberation_theology" title="Liberation theology">liberation theology</a>. This connection was so strong that Catholic priest <a href="/wiki/Ernesto_Cardenal" title="Ernesto Cardenal">Ernesto Cardenal</a> who served as the Minister of Culture in the Sandinista government, remarked: "I think Nicaraguans who separate Christianity from Revolution are mistaken. Here they are the same thing."<a href="#cite_note-nepstad-119">[118]</a> In response to the growing radicalization and opposition to Somoza amongst the Church, the FSLN incorporated a Catholic message into its program; this was augmented by left-wing Catholic organizations such as the Movimiento Cristiano Revolucionario joining the FSLN, whose members would assume high responsibilities within the Sandinista government.<a href="#cite_note-120">[119]</a> Sandinista activists infiltrated folk and religious imagery - on one such instance, they distributed paintings of the resurrection of Christ, where Christ appeared in a black and red cape (Sandinista colours), which bore the letters FSLN. As the FSLN lacked party structures which could be used for organizing, they relied on friendly clergymen instead; according to Peter Marchetti, this relationship became so intimate that "the parish replaced Lenin's idea of a cell".<a href="#cite_note-nepstad-119">[118]</a> Sandinista Minister of Education <a href="/wiki/Carlos_T%C3%BCnnerman" title="Carlos Tünnerman">Carlos Tünnerman</a> argued that Sandinismo "is deeply rooted in Christianity" and "came about through a process of Christian self-reflection".<a href="#cite_note-reed-121">[120]</a> As Sandinistas relied on churches to build their structures, their ideological relationship to Catholicism was not just based on mutual support, but on active incorporation of <a href="/wiki/Political_Catholicism" class="mw-redirect" title="Political Catholicism">Political Catholicism</a>. Sandinista musician <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Mej%C3%ADa_Godoy" title="Carlos Mejía Godoy">Carlos Mejía Godoy</a> composed "Misa Campesina Nicaraguense" (Nicaraguan peasant mass) which replaced the traditional mass in Nicaraguan churches, with Catholic hymns praising "worker Christ".

According to Bruce E. Wright, "the Governing <a href="/wiki/Military_junta" title="Military junta">Junta</a> of National Reconstruction agreed, under Sandinista leadership, that these principles had guided it in putting into practice a form of government that was characterized by those principles."<a href="#cite_note-124">[123]</a> It is generally accepted that these following principles have evolved the "ideology of <a href="/wiki/Sandinismo" class="mw-redirect" title="Sandinismo">Sandinismo</a>".<a href="#cite_note-125">[124]</a> Three of these (excluding popular participation, which was presumably contained in Article 2 of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Nicaragua" title="Constitution of Nicaragua">Constitution of Nicaragua</a>) were to ultimately be guaranteed by Article 5 of the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Nicaragua" title="Constitution of Nicaragua">Constitution of Nicaragua</a>. They are as follows: <ol><li>Political Pluralism – The ultimate success of the Sandinista Front in guiding the insurrection and in obtaining the leading fore within it was based on the fact that the FSLN, through the tercerista guidance, had worked with many sectors of the population in defeating the <a href="/wiki/Somoza" class="mw-redirect" title="Somoza">Somoza</a> dictatorship. The FSLN and all those who would constitute the new provisional government were called diverse; "they were plural in virtually all senses".<a href="#cite_note-:1-126">[125]</a></li> <li>Mixed Economy – Fonseca's understanding that Nicaragua was not, in spite of Browderist interpretations, simply a feudal country and that it had also never really developed its own capitalism made it clear that a simple feudalism-capitalism-socialism path was not a rational way to think about the future development of Nicaragua. The FSLN was not necessarily seen simply as the vanguard of the proletariat revolution. The proletariat was but a minor fraction of the population. A complex class structure in a revolution based on unity among people from various class positions suggested more that it made sense to see the FSLN as the "vanguard of the people".</li> <li>Popular Participation and Mobilization – This calls for more than simple representative democracy. The inclusion of the mass organizations in the Council of State clearly manifested this conception. In Article 2 of the Constitution this is spelled out as follows: "The people exercise democracy, freely participating and deciding in the construction of the economic, political and social system what is most appropriate to their interest. The people exercise power directly and by their means of their representatives, freely elected in accord with universal, equal, direct, free, and secret suffrage."<a href="#cite_note-Palmer_109-127">[126]</a></li> <li>International Non-alignment – This is a result of the fundamentally Bolivarist conceptions of Sandino as distilled through the modern understanding of Fonseca. The U.S. government and large U.S. economic entities were a significant part of the problem for Nicaragua. But experiences with the traditional parties allied with the Soviet Union had also been unsatisfactory. Thus it was clear that Nicaragua must seek its own road.</li></ol> Bruce E. Wright claims that "this was a crucial contribution from Fonseca's work that set the template for FSLN governance during the revolutionary years and beyond".<a href="#cite_note-:1-126">[125]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Policies_and_programs">Policies and programs</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Policies and programs">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Foreign_policy">Foreign policy</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Foreign policy">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Cuban_assistance">Cuban assistance</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Cuban assistance">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Cuban_assistance_to_the_Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front" title="Cuban assistance to the Sandinista National Liberation Front">Cuban assistance to the Sandinista National Liberation Front</a></div> Beginning in 1967, the <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuban</a> General Intelligence Directorate, or DGI, had begun to establish ties with Nicaraguan revolutionary organizations. By 1970 the DGI had managed to train hundreds of Sandinista guerrilla leaders and had vast influence over the organization. After the successful ousting of Somoza, DGI involvement in the new Sandinista government expanded rapidly. An early indication of the central role that the DGI would play in the Cuban-Nicaraguan relationship is a meeting in <a href="/wiki/Havana" title="Havana">Havana</a> on July 27, 1979, at which diplomatic ties between the two countries were re-established after more than 25 years. Julián López Díaz, a prominent DGI agent, was named Ambassador to Nicaragua. Cuban military and DGI advisors, initially brought in during the Sandinista insurgency, would swell to over 2,500 and operated at all levels of the new Nicaraguan government. The Cubans would like to have helped more in the development of Nicaragua towards socialism.

It was the most prominent campaign with regards to the new education system. Illiteracy in Nicaragua was reduced, and it has been claimed that overall illiteracy went down from 50% to 13%[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute">dubious</a> – <a href="/wiki/Talk:Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front#Dubious" title="Talk:Sandinista National Liberation Front">discuss</a>], although this figure has been called into question.<a href="#cite_note-auto-68">[67]</a> One of the government's major concerns was the previous education system under the Somoza regime which did not see education as a major factor on the development of the country. As mentioned in the Historical Program of the FSLN of 1969, education was seen as a right and the pressure to stay committed to the promises made in the program was even stronger. 1980 was declared the "Year of Literacy" and the major goals of the campaign that started only 8 months after the FSLN took over. This included the eradication of illiteracy and the integration of different classes, races, gender and age. Political awareness and the strengthening of political and economic participation of the Nicaraguan people was also a central goal of the Literacy Campaign. The campaign was a key component of the FSLN's cultural transformation agenda. The basic reader which was disseminated and used by teacher was called "Dawn of the People" based on the themes of Sandino, Carlos Fonseca, and the Sandinista struggle against imperialism and defending the revolution. Political education was aimed at creating a new social values based on the principles of Sandinista socialism, such as social solidarity, worker's democracy, egalitarianism, and anti-imperialism.<a href="#cite_note-133">[132]</a><a href="#cite_note-134">[133]</a><a href="#cite_note-86-87_Report-135">[134]</a><a href="#cite_note-136">[135]</a><a href="#cite_note-137">[136]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Health_care">Health care</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Health care">edit</a>]</div> Health conditions in Somoza era Nicaragua were abysmal according to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.<a href="#cite_note-138">[137]</a> Vaccine coverage of babies under a year old was 88% immunised against <a href="/wiki/Polio" title="Polio">polio</a> and 78% against <a href="/wiki/Measles" title="Measles">measles</a> in 1983.<a href="#cite_note-139">[138]</a> Despite the turmoil caused by the Contra War under-fire mortality was reduced by approximately half during this period.<a href="#cite_note-140">[139]</a> In this area Cuba played a role by again offering expertise to Nicaragua.

The new leadership was conscious of the social inequities produced during the previous thirty years of unrestricted economic growth and was determined to make the country's workers and peasants, the "economically underprivileged", the prime beneficiaries of the new society. Consequently, in 1980 and 1981, unbridled incentives to private investment gave way to institutions designed to redistribute wealth and income. Private property would continue to be allowed, but all land belonging to the Somozas was confiscated.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated7-150">[149]</a> By 1990 the agrarian reform had affected half of the country's arable land benefiting some 60% of rural families.<a href="#cite_note-:0-151">[150]</a> However, the ideology of the Sandinistas put the future of the private sector and of private ownership of the means of production in doubt. Although under the new government both public and private ownership were accepted, government spokespersons occasionally referred to a reconstruction phase in the country's development, in which property owners and the professional class would be tapped for their managerial and technical expertise. After reconstruction and recovery, the private sector would give way to expanded public ownership in most areas of the economy. Despite such ideas, which represented the point of view of a faction of the government, the Sandinista government remained officially committed to a mixed economy.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated7-150">[149]</a> The Sandinista government also significantly expanded workers rights in particular the right to form a union and collective bargaining. Some trade union rights however, like the right to strike were suspended during the Contra War, but strikes still occurred throughout the 1980s, most labour strikes were settled through dialogue with the FSLN.<a href="#cite_note-:0-151">[150]</a> Economic growth was uneven in the 1980s. Restructuring of the economy and the rebuilding immediately following the end of the civil war caused the GDP to rise about 5 percent in 1980 and 1981. Each year from 1984 to 1990, however, showed a drop in the GDP. Reasons for the contraction included the reluctance of foreign banks to offer new loans, the diversion of funds to fight the new insurrection against the government, and, after 1985, the total embargo on trade with the United States, formerly Nicaragua's largest trading partner. After 1985 the government chose to fill the gap between decreasing revenues and mushrooming military expenditures by printing large amounts of paper money. <a href="/wiki/Inflation" title="Inflation">Inflation</a> rose rapidly, peaking in 1988 at more than 14,000 percent annually.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated7-150">[149]</a> Measures taken by the government to lower inflation were hampered by natural disaster. In early 1988, the administration of Daniel José Ortega Saavedra (Sandinista junta coordinator 1979–85, president 1985–90) established an austerity program to lower inflation. Price controls were tightened, and a new currency was introduced. As a result, by August 1988, inflation had dropped to an annual rate of 240 percent. The following month, however, Hurricane Joan cut a path directly across the center of the country. Damage was extensive, and the government's program of large spending to repair the infrastructure destroyed its anti-inflation measures.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated7-150">[149]</a> In its eleven years in power, the Sandinista government never overcame most of the economic inequalities that it inherited from the Somoza era. Years of war, policy missteps, natural disasters, and the effects of the United States trade embargo all hindered economic development.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated7-150">[149]</a> Despite these problems however, the Nicaragua economy saw a transformation in a direction to satisfy the needs of Nicaragua's poor majority.<a href="#cite_note-:0-151">[150]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Women_in_revolutionary_Nicaragua">Women in revolutionary Nicaragua</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Women in revolutionary Nicaragua">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Role_of_women_in_Nicaraguan_Revolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Role of women in Nicaraguan Revolution">Role of women in Nicaraguan Revolution</a></div> The women of Nicaragua prior to, during and after the revolution played a prominent role within the nation's society as they have commonly been recognized, throughout history and across all Latin American states, as its backbone. Nicaraguan women were therefore directly affected by all of the positive and negative events that took place during this revolutionary period. The victory of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in 1979 brought about major changes and gains for women, mainly in legislation, broad educational opportunities, training programs for working women, childcare programs to help women enter the work force and greatly increased participation and leadership positions in a range of political activities.<a href="#cite_note-WIN-152">[151]</a> This, in turn, reduced the burdens that the women of Nicaragua were faced with prior to the revolution. During the Sandinista government, women were more active politically. The large majority of members of the neighborhood committees (Comités de Defensa Sandinista) were women. By 1987, 31% of the executive positions in the Sandinista government, 27% of the leadership positions of the FSLN, and 25% of the FSLN's active membership were women.<a href="#cite_note-Giriazzo-153">[152]</a> Supporters of the Sandinistas see their era as characterized by the creation and implementation of successful social programs which were free and made widely available to the entire nation. Some of the more successful programs for women that were implemented by the Sandinistas were in the areas of education (see: <a href="/wiki/Nicaraguan_Literacy_Campaign" title="Nicaraguan Literacy Campaign">Nicaraguan Literacy Campaign</a>), health, and housing. Providing subsidies for basic foodstuffs and the introduction of mass employment were also contributions of the FSLN. The Sandinistas were particularly advantageous for the women of Nicaraguan as they promoted progressive views on gender as early as 1969 claiming that the revolution would "abolish the detestable discrimination that women have suffered with regard to men and establish economic, political and cultural equality between men and women". This was evident as the FSLN began integrating women into their ranks by 1967, unlike other left-wing guerilla groups in the region. This goal was not fully reached because the roots of gender inequality were not explicitly challenged. Women's participation within the public sphere was also substantial, as many took part in the armed struggle as part of the FSLN or as part of counter-revolutionary forces.<a href="#cite_note-154">[153]</a> Nicaraguan women organized independently in support of the revolution and their cause. Some of those organizations were the Socialist Party (1963), Federación Democrática (which support the FSLN in rural areas), and <a href="/wiki/Luisa_Amanda_Espinoza_Association_of_Nicaraguan_Women" title="Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women">Luisa Amanda Espinoza Association of Nicaraguan Women</a> (Asociación de Mujeres Nicaragüenses Luisa Amanda Espinosa, AMNLAE). However, since <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Ortega" title="Daniel Ortega">Daniel Ortega</a>, was defeated in the 1990 election by the <a href="/wiki/United_Nicaraguan_Opposition" title="United Nicaraguan Opposition">United Nicaraguan Opposition</a> (UNO) coalition headed by <a href="/wiki/Violeta_Chamorro" title="Violeta Chamorro">Violeta Chamorro</a>, the situation for women in Nicaragua was seriously altered. In terms of women and the labor market, by the end of 1991 AMNLAE reported that almost 16,000 working women—9,000 agricultural laborers, 3,000 industrial workers, and 3,800 civil servants, including 2,000 in health, 800 in education, and 1,000 in administration—had lost their jobs.<a href="#cite_note-155">[154]</a> The change in government also resulted in the drastic reduction or suspension of all Nicaraguan social programs, which brought back the burdens characteristic of pre-revolutionary Nicaragua. The women were forced to maintain and supplement community social services on their own without economic aid or technical and human resource.<a href="#cite_note-Giriazzo-153">[152]</a><a href="#cite_note-156">[155]</a> Between 2007 and 2018 under Sandinista administrations, Nicaragua has advanced from 62nd to 6th in the world in terms of gender equality, according to the <a href="/wiki/Global_Gender_Gap_Report" title="Global Gender Gap Report">Global Gender Gap Report</a> from the <a href="/wiki/World_Economic_Forum" title="World Economic Forum">World Economic Forum</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Relationship_with_the_Catholic_Church">Relationship with the Catholic Church</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Relationship with the Catholic Church">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Role_of_the_Catholic_Church_in_the_Nicaraguan_Revolution" class="mw-redirect" title="Role of the Catholic Church in the Nicaraguan Revolution">Role of the Catholic Church in the Nicaraguan Revolution</a></div> The <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a>'s relationship with the Sandinistas was extremely complex. Initially, the Church was supportive of the Somoza regime as it broke with the liberal tradition of anti-clericalism. Anti-clerical laws of the Estado Liberal established by the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(Nicaragua)" title="Democratic Party (Nicaragua)">Liberal Party of Nicaragua</a> were repealed, and Somoza granted the Church tax exemptions and assigned it a central role in state education, allowing Catholic, state-funded schools to flourish. However, relations with the Catholic clergy gradually deteriorated as the regime grew more oppressive and Somoza committed atrocities against his political opponents with help of <a href="/wiki/National_Guard_(Nicaragua)" title="National Guard (Nicaragua)">Guardia Nacional</a>. Open conflict between the Church and the regime emerged in the wake of Vatican II.<a href="#cite_note-wilson-157">[156]</a> <a href="/wiki/Vatican_II" class="mw-redirect" title="Vatican II">Vatican II</a> had a profound effect on the Catholic Church, leading to the beginning of <a href="/wiki/Liberation_theology" title="Liberation theology">liberation theology</a>, Catholic-Marxist dialogue, and empowering already existing left-wing currents within the Catholic clergy such as the worker-priests. Many Nicagaruan priests would join this trend and radicalize their parishioners into either supporting or evening joining the Sandinistas. Priest <a href="/wiki/Ernesto_Cardenal" title="Ernesto Cardenal">Ernesto Cardenal</a> encouraged his parishioners to reflect on their living conditions in relation to the religious message; in his teachings, Cardenal concluded that the realization of the Gospel would be taking up arms against the Somoza regime to oppose “un-Christian” conditions. Cardenal's brand of revolutionary Catholicism attracted the local working class, allowing the FSLN to successfully recruit them. Eventually the Sandinistas managed to recruit Cardenal himself, turning his local church into a potent source of new recruits. Cardenal was even reported to have said that "Jesus Christ is the Sandinistas" during Mass.<a href="#cite_note-jacobson-158">[157]</a> Other priests such as José de la Jara promoted a sense of Catholic community in poor squatter neighbourhoods, promoting the portrayal of Jesus Christ as a poor worker in image of local inhabitants, and instituted a number of Catholic programs to help the community, such as road repairs, literacy programs and founded the Christian Youth Movement. Such actions united hitherto dispersed communities and fostered mutual support and trust. When encouraged by local priests to consider struggling for better living conditions as the realization of Catholic social teachings, parishioners spoke out forcefully against poor living conditions and unaffordable prices, eventually turning their discontent into open support for the FSLN. Even the priests who did not join the revolution would turn their churches into safe houses for the insurrectionists, gathering food and medicine for Sandinista combatants.<a href="#cite_note-159">[158]</a> At its core, liberation theology recognized class struggle as a part of the Latin American society that was inherited from colonialism, and that is continued under capitalism which was considered <a href="/wiki/Neo-colonialism" class="mw-redirect" title="Neo-colonialism">neo-colonialism</a>. For revolutionary Catholics, imperialism and capitalism became sin in themselves, and Jesus Christ was interpreted in context of being a revolutionary. Left-wing Nicaraguan priests replaced the traditional imaginery of 'New Jerusalem' with 'New Havana', and argued for the necessity of embracing the <a href="/wiki/Option_for_the_poor" title="Option for the poor">option for the poor</a> and committing onself to Marxist revolution in order to be a 'true Catholic'. Supporters of liberation theology also agreed in principle with Marxist economics, with liberation theology priests such as <a href="/wiki/Gustavo_Guti%C3%A9rrez" title="Gustavo Gutiérrez">Gustavo Gutiérrez</a> stating that a classless society where private ownership of production is prohibited is the only acceptable Catholic response. The FSLN openly courted the growing following of revolutionary Catholics, portraying their revolutionary struggle against the Somoza regime as a realization of the Catholic social teaching. While the Catholic upper hierarchy was first reluctant to join the Sandinista revolution, it gradually moved to legitimatize its revolutionary goals and openly embraced it following the <a href="/wiki/Second_Episcopal_Conference_of_Latin_America" title="Second Episcopal Conference of Latin America">Second Episcopal Conference of Latin America</a>, which openly called for challenging oppressive regimes in the region. The Church's hostility towards Somoza became even more apparent in 1970 with the appointment of Archbishop <a href="/wiki/Miguel_Obando_y_Bravo" title="Miguel Obando y Bravo">Miguel Obando y Bravo</a>. When given a Mercedes Benz as a goodwill gift by Somoza, Bravo sold it and distributed the money among the poor.<a href="#cite_note-wilson-157">[156]</a> During the revolution, the Catholic Church's relationship with the Sandinistas grew so close that even sacraments acquired a revolutionary meaning - one priest reportedly baptized a newborn girl by saying: “Let all selfishness, capitalism, Somozism, go out of this little girl.”<a href="#cite_note-160">[159]</a> Numerous Christian base communities (CEBs) were created in which lower level clergy and laity took part in consciousness raising initiatives to educate the peasants about the institutionalized violence they were suffering from. Some priests took a more active role in supporting the revolutionary struggle. For example, Father <a href="/wiki/Gaspar_Garc%C3%ADa_Laviana" title="Gaspar García Laviana">Gaspar García Laviana</a> took up arms and became a member of FSLN. After the establishment of Sandinista regime, the Catholic Church was jubilant, which could be observed in the November 1979 pastoral letter “Christian Commitment for a New Nicaragua” which was described as “warm, encouraging, confident, and supportive of the FSLN-led revolution.” Nicaraguan bishops stated that they are “confident that the revolutionary process will be something creative, profoundly original, and in no way imitative.” Full of praise for the new revolutionary government, the clergy promised to assist the new regime, “even in the construction of a socialist society.” However, the new government alienated the Church by what was perceived as a gradual removal of the Church's in the education; the government was accused of introducing a purely secular model of education on the example of the Cuban government, even inviting Cuban teachers to assist the process. Conservative media attacked the government by promoting “materialist ideology” in schools and warning of looming Marxist and atheist infiltration of the state education. By 1982, the controversy over education became so polarizing that some members of the governing junta such as <a href="/wiki/Violeta_Chamorro" title="Violeta Chamorro">Violeta Chamorro</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_Robelo" title="Alfonso Robelo">Alfonso Robelo</a> resigned, arguing that new laws are unconstitutional. Analyzing the conflict, John M. Kirk concluded: “For their part, the Sandinistas can be criticized for their lack of sensitivity to the hierarchy’s concerns — for it should have been obvious that education had long been regarded as the bailiwick of Church leaders. This political insensitivity of the FSLN — particularly among the middle-level cadres—exacerbated the increasingly problematic relationship between the FSLN and the Church hierarchy.”<a href="#cite_note-161">[160]</a> Conservative Catholic priests and journalists attacked the new regime, with <a href="/wiki/Humberto_Belli" title="Humberto Belli">Humberto Belli</a> claiming that the FSLN was trying to appropriate Catholic symbols. Examples of their attempts to "infiltrate" the Church was the presence of Sandinista leaders at religious ceremonies, supporting socialist-aligned Catholic institutions such as the Instituto Histérico Centro-Americano which published pamphlets that depicted Jesus Christ superimposed on the image of a guerrilla fighter, encouraging Catholics to participate in the "revolutionary process", and discussing “martyrs” of the revolutionary struggle. The <a href="/wiki/Episcopal_Conference_of_Latin_America" title="Episcopal Conference of Latin America">Episcopal Conference of Latin America</a> (CELAM) warned in 1981 that “Nicaragua is heading for atheism, and that the Sandinista Front was already suppressing Christmas and the feast of the Immaculate Conception.” However, when Spanish priest Teófilo Cabestrero travelled to Revolutionary Nicaragua to investigate the situation, he found that Catholic celebrations were not suppressed at all, but rather encouraged and openly celebrated by the Sandinistas themselves - festivities were held in government ministries, commercialization of the religious feast was prohibited, and a national holiday for all major Catholic feasts were proclaimed. Cabastrero concluded: “This revolution is not prohibiting or curbing religious activities, but rather is offering the churches a unique opportunity to re-evangelize themselves, and to evangelize the entire population with new evangelical vigor.” He also added: “For the present, the danger for religion and the Church is not with the Sandinista people’s revolution, but rather is in the utilization of religion and the Church against the people’s revolution”.<a href="#cite_note-162">[161]</a> <a href="/wiki/Phillip_Berryman" title="Phillip Berryman">Phillip Berryman</a> concludes that the growing tension between the Sandinistas and the Catholic Church was a result of constant misinterpretations and misunderstanding between both sides, combined with interference of foreign conservative clergymen. He concludes that CELAM did not intend to attack the revolutionary government but rather as an attempt to “spiritualize religion and support the moral authority of the bishops.” John M. Kirk shares Berryman's conclusion, arguing that the emerging rift between the Church and state was a result of “powerful international organizations stepping in to shore up an increasingly conservative hierarchy and at the same time cast aspersions on the progressive wing of the Church, which favored the government reforms.” Mounting tensions were followed by the attempts of the Sandinista government to silence bishops perceived as problematic - in July 1981 the government cancelled the weekly televised broadcast of mass by archbishop Obando y Bravo after he denied the government's request to share the spot with progressive, government-aligned priests. The government also shut down the Church-run media such as the Radio Católica radio station, and in 1982 the government banned the publication of a letter from <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a> which called for ordinary priests to support and obey their bishops.<a href="#cite_note-163">[162]</a> FSLN also fostered a "popular church" by using its connections to progressive clergy established during the revolution, effectively developing a 'popular church' that became a parallel structure to the institutional church. Sandinistas advertised this move as a part of their liberation theology, which postulated moving the Church out of the hands of the vilified higher hierarchy and into the hands of lower-ranking priests who were part of the working class and knew their struggle.<a href="#cite_note-jacobson-158">[157]</a> Geraldine O'Leary de Macias commented on this situation: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">The FSLN continues to cultivate the base Christian communities and call them "the good Christians".

The hierarchy refused to speak out against the counterrevolutionary activities of the contras and failed to denounce American military aid. State media accused the Church of being reactionary and supporting the Contras. According to former President Ortega, "The conflict with the church was strong, and it costs us, but I don't think it was our fault. ... There were so many people being wounded every day, so many people dying, and it was hard for us to understand the position of the church hierarchy in refusing to condemn the contras." The hierarchy-state tensions were brought to the fore with <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II_1983_visit_to_Nicaragua" class="mw-redirect" title="Pope John Paul II 1983 visit to Nicaragua">Pope John Paul II 1983 visit to Nicaragua</a>. Hostility to the Church became so great that at one point, FSLN militants shouted down <a href="/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a> as he tried to say Mass during a visit.<a href="#cite_note-164">[163]</a> Therefore, while the activities of the Church contributed to the success of the Sandinista revolution, the hierarchy's opposition was a major factor in the downfall of the revolutionary government. The relations between the Sandinistas and the Catholic Church started improving in 1986, starting with the appointment of <a href="/wiki/Paolo_Giglio" title="Paolo Giglio">Paolo Giglio</a> as the new papal nuncio in Nicaragua in July. Giglio quickly earned the respect of the revolutionary government in November after attacking the United States for its hostility to the government, arguing that the Sandinistas were always open to negotiations with the United States but were turned down each time. That year, Vice President <a href="/wiki/Sergio_Ram%C3%ADrez" title="Sergio Ramírez">Sergio Ramírez</a> was also received by the pope in a private audience. Once Congreso Eucaristico Nacional took place in <a href="/wiki/Managua" title="Managua">Managua</a>, Sandinistas leaders helped promote the congress and decried the lack of interest in it; President Ortega met with several Catholic clergymen during the congress, and also allowed <a href="/wiki/Mother_Teresa" title="Mother Teresa">Mother Teresa</a> to bring four sisters into Nicaragua in order to create a new, small religious community. The Sandinista conflict with the Catholic Church was ultimately settled with the signing of the <a href="/wiki/Esquipulas_Peace_Agreement" title="Esquipulas Peace Agreement">Esquipulas Peace Agreement</a> - the government allowed Radio Catolica to broadcast again and allowed expelled clergy to return to Nicaragua.<a href="#cite_note-165">[164]</a> Prior to their victory in the 2006 election, Ortega sought to rekindle his old relationship with the Catholic Church and befriended Cardinal <a href="/wiki/Miguel_Obando_y_Bravo" title="Miguel Obando y Bravo">Miguel Obando y Bravo</a>, an erstwhile opponent of the Sandinistas in the 1980s. Bravo emerged as a close ally of Ortega, and in return Sandinistas expressed their support for a blanket ban on abortion in 2006, and in his speeches Ortega would refer to the reforged FSLN as “Christian socialist”.<a href="#cite_note-166">[165]</a> Despite this, FSLN still faces tensions with the Catholic clergy outside of Nicaragua. On August 23, <a href="/wiki/2020_in_Nicaragua" title="2020 in Nicaragua">2020</a>, Bishop <a href="/wiki/Silvio_Jos%C3%A9_B%C3%A1ez" title="Silvio José Báez">Silvio Báez</a>, who had been outside of Nicaragua for reasons of security since April 23, 2019, accused President Ortega of being a dictator. The Centro Nicaragüense de Derechos Humanos (Nicaraguan Human Rights Center, Cenidh) said that the Church had been the victim of 24 attacks since April 2018,<a href="#cite_note-167">[166]</a> including a fire that began in the <a href="/wiki/Immaculate_Conception_Cathedral,_Managua" title="Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Managua">Immaculate Conception Cathedral</a> when a <a href="/wiki/Molotov_cocktail" title="Molotov cocktail">Molotov cocktail</a> was thrown at a sacred image of the <a href="/wiki/Blood_of_Christ" title="Blood of Christ">Blood of Christ</a> on July 31, 2020.<a href="#cite_note-168">[167]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Human_rights_violations_by_the_Sandinistas">Human rights violations by the Sandinistas</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Human rights violations by the Sandinistas">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/Time_(magazine)" title="Time (magazine)">Time magazine</a> in 1983 published reports of human rights violations in an article which stated that "According to Nicaragua's Permanent Commission on Human Rights, the regime detains several hundred people a month; about half of them are eventually released, but the rest simply disappear."

It stated: "In the Commission's view, while the government of Nicaragua clearly intended to respect the lives of all those defeated in the civil war, during the weeks immediately subsequent to the Revolutionary triumph, when the government was not in effective control, illegal executions took place which violated the right to life, and these acts have not been investigated and the persons responsible have not been punished."<a href="#cite_note-IACHR-171">[170]</a> The IACHR also stated that: "The Commission is of the view that the new regime did not have, and does not now have, a policy of violating the right to life of political enemies, including among the latter the former guardsmen of the Government of General Somoza, whom a large sector of the population of Nicaragua held responsible for serious human rights violations during the former regime; proof of the foregoing is the abolition of the death penalty and the high number of former guardsmen who were prisoners and brought to trial for crimes that constituted violations of human rights."<a href="#cite_note-IACHR-171">[170]</a> A 1983 IACHR report documented allegations of human rights violations against the Miskito Indians, which were alleged to have taken place after opposition forces (the <a href="/wiki/Contras" title="Contras">Contras</a>) infiltrated a Miskito village in order to launch attacks against government soldiers, and as part of a subsequent forced relocation program.

The report accused them of executing 35 to 40 Miskitos in Leimus in December 1981.<a href="#cite_note-173">[172]</a> The U.S. government accused Nicaragua of genocide.

The information was provided by the Nicaraguan Pro Human Rights Association, which had received its first complaint in June 1990. By December 1991, that Association had received reports of 60 common graves and had investigated 15 of them. While most of the graves seem to be the result of <a href="/wiki/Summary_execution" title="Summary execution">summary executions</a> by members of the Sandinista People's Army or the State Security, some contain the bodies of individuals executed by the Nicaraguan Resistance."<a href="#cite_note-175">[174]</a> The IACHR's 1992 annual report contains details of mass graves and investigations which suggest that mass executions had been carried out.

Another grave was also found in the town of Quininowas which contained six corpses, believed to be an entire family killed by government forces when the town was invaded.

The Inter-Church Committee on Human Rights in Latin America (ICCHRLA) in its Newsletter stated in 1985 that: "The hostility with which the Nicaraguan government is viewed by the Reagan administration is an unfortunate development. Even more unfortunate is the expression of that hostility in the destabilization campaign developed by the US administration. ...

The ICCHRLA in its newsletter stated that: "From time to time the current U.S. administration, and private organizations sympathetic to it, have made serious and extensive allegations of religious persecution in Nicaragua. Colleague churches in the United States undertook onsite investigation of these charges in 1984. In their report, the delegation organized by the Division of Overseas Ministries of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States concluded that there is 'no basis for the charge of systematic religious persecution'. The delegation 'considers this issue to be a device being used to justify aggressive opposition to the present Nicaraguan government.'"<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-177">[176]</a> On the other hand, some elements of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, among them Archbishop <a href="/wiki/Miguel_Obando_y_Bravo" title="Miguel Obando y Bravo">Miguel Obando y Bravo</a>, strongly criticized the Sandinistas.

This hostility yielded, among other things, an inordinate amount of publicity about human rights issues. Almost invariably, U.S. pronouncements on human rights exaggerated and distorted the real human rights violations of the Sandinista regime, and exculpated those of the U.S.-supported insurgents, known as the contras."<a href="#cite_note-179">[178]</a> In 1987, a report was published by the UK based NGO <a href="/wiki/Progressio_(organization)" title="Progressio (organization)">Catholic Institute for International Relations</a> (CIIR, now known as "Progressio"), a human rights organization which identifies itself with <a href="/wiki/Liberation_theology" title="Liberation theology">Liberation theology</a>.<a href="#cite_note-180">[179]</a> The report, "Right to Survive: Human Rights in Nicaragua",<a href="#cite_note-181">[180]</a> discussed the politicization of the human rights issue: "The Reagan administration, with scant regard for the truth, has made a concerted effort to paint as evil a picture as possible of Nicaragua, describing it as a 'totalitarian dungeon'. Supporters of the Sandinistas ... have argued that Nicaragua has a good record of human rights compared with other Central American countries and have compared Nicaragua with other countries at war." The CIIR report refers to estimates made by the NGO <a href="/wiki/Americas_Watch" class="mw-redirect" title="Americas Watch">Americas Watch</a> which count the number of non-battle related deaths and disappearances for which the government was responsible up to the year 1986 as "close to 300". According to the CIIR report, Amnesty International and Americas Watch stated that there is no evidence that the use of torture was sanctioned by the Nicaraguan authorities, although prisoners reported the use of conditions of detention and interrogation techniques that could be described as psychological torture. The Red Cross made repeated requests to be given access to prisoners held in state security detention centers, but were refused. The CIIR was critical of the Permanent Commission on Human Rights (PCHR or CPDH in Spanish), claiming that the organisation had a tendency to immediately publish accusations against the government without first establishing a factual basis for the allegations. The CIIR report also questioned the independence of the Permanent Commission on Human Rights, referring to an article in <a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a> which claims that the <a href="/wiki/National_Endowment_for_Democracy" title="National Endowment for Democracy">National Endowment for Democracy</a>, an organization funded by the US government, allocated a concession of US$50,000 for assistance in the translation and distribution outside Nicaragua of its monthly report, and that these funds were administered by the Committee for Democracy in Central America (Prodemca), a US-based organization which later published full-page advertisements in <a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> supporting military aid to the Contras. The Permanent Commission denies that it received any money which it claims was instead used by others for translating and distributing their monthly reports in other nations.<a href="#cite_note-Envio-182">[181]</a> The Nicaraguan-based magazine Revista Envio, which describes its stance as one of "critical support for the Sandinistas", refers to the report: "The CPDH: Can It Be Trusted?" written by Scottish lawyer Paul Laverty. In the report, Laverty observes that: "The entire board of directors [of the Permanent Commission], are members of or closely identify with the 'Nicaraguan Democratic Coordinating Committee' (Coordinadora), an alliance of the more right wing parties and COSEP, the business organization." He goes on to express concern about CPDH's alleged tendency to provide relatively few names and other details in connection with alleged violations.
