Nicaragua: UN Denounces Power Concentration by Executive
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights criticized on Wednesday the concentration of power by the government and ruling party in Nicaragua, led by Daniel Ortega since 2007.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, over the concentration of power by the executive and ruling party in Nicaragua, according to information reported by RFI.
This Central American country has been ruled with an iron fist by President Daniel Ortega since 2007, the year he returned to power.
The statements from the United Nations Human Rights Office come amid persistent concerns about the state of public freedoms and the distribution of institutional powers in the country.
RFI did not specify in the available excerpt the detailed content of the UN statements nor the concrete measures mentioned by the High Commissioner to address this situation.
