The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo is facing increasing global isolation and is criticized for its authoritarian tactics.
Nicaragua withdraws from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), marking its seventh unilateral break with a multilateral institution in a few months.
The constitutional reform carried out last year provides omnimous powers to Nicaragua's rulers.
Ortega and Murillo are accused of censoring the press and pursuing journalists and activists.
The government has also used nationality withdrawals as a repressive tool against exiled journalists and activists.
Conclusion: The rising authoritarianism in Nicaragua, marked by the exit from multiple international institutions, growing censorship and repression, and the accumulation of power in the hands of rulers, suggests an increasingly isolated and paranoid regime.
