Bolaños on the back foot in Nicaragua’s power struggle
President Enrique Bolaños is losing his tussle with the opposition-dominated national assembly. The leader of the opposition Frente Sandinista de la Liberación Nacional, Daniel Ortega, has consistently outmanoeuvred Bolaños, who will have to return to the dialogue table or face the possible lifting of his immunity from prosecution and trial by the supreme court, which is stacked with appointees of the FSLN and the opposition Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC).
