	Daniel Ortega's Presidential Make-Over: Nicaragua's Mr. Love and Peace - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News
		Ortega has given up the title of Comandante, looks more civilian than military in a pair of jeans and a white shirt, and is already being ridiculed by his detractors as "Daniel Paz y Amor" -- the candidate who only raves about "peace and love" these days.
		Ortega ran the country once before, after the fall of the Somoza dictatorship in 1979.
		Ortega is afraid that he might be asked about the past and his alleged pact with Alemán.

		Daniel Ortega Saavedra (born 11 November 1945) was President of Nicaragua from 1985 to 1990, during the Sandinista government, and is currently the leader of the Sandinista party.
		Ortega, and his radical Marxist supporters, the Sandinistas, then announced their plans to bring extensive socialist reforms to the country, strongly inspired by Fidel Castro's socialist system in Cuba.
		Ortega's forces were ultimately unable to resist the Contras, and in 1990 he agreed to hold elections.

	Daniel Ortega
		Ortega was one of several leaders of the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional in its guerrilla war against Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle.
		Ortega's ambitious program of land redistribution was also subject to criticism, and it was alleged that Sandinista leaders used their power for personal advantage.

		Daniel Ortega Saavedra was one of the leaders of the Sandinista rebels, who ousted right-wing dictator Anastasio Somoza in July 1979 and established a leftist regime in Nicaragua.
		Ortega was elected president in 1984 and was president of Nicaragua from 1985 to 1990.
		Ortega's "turn to the right," according to La Opinion, is evident in his political pact six years ago with former president Arnoldo Aleman, his old political adversary who is now under house arrest for corruption.

	Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega: In the Lions' Den Again
		But the Ortega who wants to be elected president in November is shaped by the memory that last time the trail ended in 10 years of crushing political defeat, isolation and disgrace over claims that he abused his own step-daughter.
		Ortega was the unlikeliest of leaders - awkward and introspective - but he cut an iconic figure in military fatigues and hallmark baseball cap.
		Ortega was released in 1974, after seven years, and flown to Cuba under a scheme whereby Somoza's lackeys and foreign diplomats kidnapped by Sandinista commandos were delivered to Havana and then exchanged.

		Ortega, who fought U.S.-backed Contra rebels as president in the 1980s, was conciliatory in victory but the White House warned that its support for Nicaragua would hinge on the leftist's commitment to democracy.

	The Return of Daniel Ortega
		Ironically, even as the White House portrays Ortega as a committed and unrepentant leftist, the real concern is whether he has fully compromised the progressive ideals he once espoused as a leader in the movement that overthrew Nicaragua's longstanding Somoza dictatorship.
		Ortega has been criticized by former partisans for keeping a tight hold on the leadership of the Sandinistas, quashing efforts to democratize the party and expelling members like former Managua Mayor Herty Lewites, who announced intentions to challenge Ortega's power.
		Ortega campaigned on a platform criticizing the "savage capitalism" implemented by the successive conservative governments that have ruled the country over the past sixteen years.

	Sirias, Time for Daniel Ortega to step aside
		One afternoon, Daniel Ortega, the perennial presidential candidate of the Sandinista party, stopped by San Marcos, Carazo, the town where I was residing, as part of his campaign stump.
		In fact, Ortega’s current alliance with Alemán and his cronies is, in large part, a ploy by the old Sandinista guard to protect themselves from being held accountable for the money and property they made their own only days before handing over the presidency.
		During the 2001 presidential campaign, as I stood in the plaza of San Marcos listening to Daniel Ortega’s speech, I was struck by the poverty of his language and by his lack of imagination.

	Daniel Ortega
		The Nicaraguan constitution was suspended, and freedom of the press was curtailed, in response to perceived threats of political subversion threatening the new government.
		Shortly after coming to power the new regime lobbied extensively for arms from around the world, mainly focusing on what Ortega described as the "socialist community" which he felt would be sympathetic to the Sandinista agenda.
		Although the Contras were never able to win militarily inside Nicaragua, by 1990 the U.S. strategy of low-intensity conflict, which combined Contra guerrilla attacks with domestic sabotage and a debilitating trade embargo, left Nicaragua economically devastated and politically polarized.

		Daniel Ortega, the front-runner and former Sandinista president, appears poised to win the first round — but Ortega is not as solid as he appears, and a win for the Sandinistas is not assured.
		Former President Daniel Ortega — leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) — is the front-runner and has drawn international attention during his campaign.
		As of Nov. 3, Ortega is ranked first, with 30 percent of intended votes — five points shy of being able to win the first round, if he is also five points ahead of his closest opponent — and his closest opponent, Eduardo Montealegre of the Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance (ALN), is only three points behind.
