Ortega is a former Sandinista revolutionary who helped end the Somoza family’s 44-year rule in 1979. He then ushered in a new era of extreme leftist rule via the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) with the support of Cuba and Russia.
“The FSLN was actually founded and organized in Cuba,” regional analyst and author Orlando Gutierrez-Boronat told The Epoch Times. “These totalitarian regimes see Catholic[s] … as the true spiritual and philosophical opposition to their designs.”
As a kid it seems like I remember Ortega’s name surfacing endlessly in news cycles during the Reagan Administration.
Don’t forget, the dems supported him in the 80’s and made it illegal for Reagan to help the contra freedom fighters. Hence Iran Contra.
