Nicaragua’s presidential couple completes coup against historic Sandinista leader Bayardo Arce
Nicaraguan authorities arrest prominent Sandinista figure Bayardo Arce amid escalating internal power struggles within the ruling coalition.
The Nicaraguan presidential couple, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, have completed their political coup against historic Sandinista leader Bayardo Arce, who was arrested in July. Bayardo Arce, regarded as the godfather of baseball in Nicaragua, has become a focal point in an internal Sandinista power struggle that increasingly reflects broader geopolitical tensions within the Ortega-Murillo regime. The arrest signals a deepening reconfiguration of political allegiances and intensifies the regime’s crackdown on even its own historical figures.
