The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Though mainstream media often depicts Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega as someone who governs through violence, the fact is that, under his leadership, the nation has become the most peaceful country in Latin America. While many other countries are struggling to fight criminal gangs, Nicaragua has been able to rein them in and hold their members accountable.

Alliance for Global Justice

Pro-establishment narrative

It's no coincidence that Nicaragua has pardoned a criminal like Campbell Licona, as the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has turned the country into a highly efficient narco-state via collusion with drug traffickers to create a false perception that Nicaragua is an exception to criminal violence. Rather than being a positive development, this transfer is a worrying sign for the region.
