Abstract

It is the duty of true progressives and peace-lovers to deny and dismantle the implementation of the “post-truth” against Nicaragua, that is, to deny the fake news that is propagated: a) it is a populist communist dictatorship, b) that is suppressing freedom of the press, c) that it is imprisoning opposition candidates who supposedly would win the elections and d) that it is chasing Sandinista dissidents who would oppose this within the party of Daniel Ortega's dictatorial personalism. The purpose of the article is to present a historical overview of Nicaragua since the US occupation, highlighting Sandino's role until the unfolding of the Sandinista revolution; a retrospective of the country's elections; main crises to date, and the impacts of the hybrid war on the current crisis facing the country. It concludes that what is at stake today in Nicaragua is the fate of the achievements of the Sandinista revolution.
