LI Bureau condemns Ortega’s bid to end democratic elections in Nicaragua

Liberal International bureau strongly condemns President Daniel Ortega's declaration that there will be "no more elections" for Nicaragua's democratic opposition and the legislative measures that would effectively abolish meaningful democratic elections in the country.
