There are forces in the US who would love to see the most successful socialist state fall from insurrection.(ie..the US Congress people sponsoring this renewed Nica Act having met with the opposition individuals for 2 years now before the current 'civil unrest) The current president, Ortega, has said clearly take the vote based on law, change as you need to see. but not by folly. By its very imperialist capitalistic nature and aggressive history with Nicaragua, the US hates this and is working hard to see this democracy fail.
