Answer 4

Daniel Ortega along with his wife are from the Sandinista Movement a communist party supported at the time by Russia and Cuba in the late 1970's, 80's and up until 1990 when he was voted out and replaced by Violeta Chamorro. He was voted out by the majority. I might say he did not leave quietly. He participated in what was known then as the "Great Pinata" where he emptied bank accounts, stole cars from dealership and gave it to whomever wanted it - -usually the poor. Let people grab land from whomever they wanted. He also did this at the beginning of his rulership, throughout and at the very end leaving the country with a $1,200 billion dollar debt. Many said he is not the same person he was from the beginning. That is why the country was drained of its brain (investors, wealthy ones, doctors,) basicaly anyone that could afford to get out did leaving the poor and very poor behind. He has toned down his talks about Imperalistic government (USA) and no more fist talk anymore. He has promised to work closely with the US government and also to invite many to invest in the country infrastructure which is what the poor need there - jobs. I am Nicaraguan and I was one of the many that left the country. My parents chose to stay behind.
