    Recientemente, Nicaragua ha sido noticia por las protestas contra Daniel Ortega. Elegido legítimamente en 2006, su presidencia se ha encaminado hacia una dictadura. Inicialmente los ciudadanos consintieron, disfrutando de sus programas sociales. Cuando estos programas terminaron, también lo hizo la aquiescencia. El caso de Nicaragua muestra cómo un presidente electo puede convertirse en un dictador. También muestra los límites tanto del autoritarismo como de la aquiescencia. Es posible que los ciudadanos, silenciosos, solo hayan llegado a un trato desesperado, que terminará cuando terminen los programas sociales.

    Recently, Nicaragua has been in the news for the protests against Daniel Ortega. Legitimately elected in 2006, his presidency has headed toward dictatorship. Initially citizens acquiesced, enjoying social programs. When these programs ended, so did acquiescence. The case of Nicaragua shows how an elected president can become a dictator. It also shows the limits of both authoritarianism and acquiescence. Quiet citizens may have only struck a desperate deal, which will end when social programs end.
