(MANAGUA, Nicaragua) — President Daniel Ortega used Thursday’s 39th anniversary of the 1979 revolution against dictator Anastasio Somoza to celebrate strengthening his grip on power after three months of anti-government protests and to attack Nicaragua’s Roman Catholic Church as allies of “coup mongers.” In recent days, the government and its supporters routed some of the remaining focal points of the resistance. Those still loyal to Ortega, who helped lead the Sandinista uprising decades ago, say the country has made progress under his rule.
