How Miss Universe May Lead to the end of commie reign in Nicaragua
|
[HotAir] Last month 23-year-old Sheynnis Palacios won the Miss Universe competition becoming the first ever Nicaraguan contestant to win the crown...."It came as a surprise, and triggered spontaneous expressions of delight in the country," said Elvira Cuadra, a Nicaraguan sociologist who lives in exile in Costa Rica.
"Since 2018, Nicaragua has lived in a police state," said Cuadra. "Lately they haven't even allowed religious gatherings. But when Sheynnis won, people took to the streets with their national flags, singing the national anthem.""...Ordinary Nicaraguans, who are largely forbidden to protest or carry the national flag in marches; took advantage of the Saturday night Miss Universe win as a rare opportunity to celebrate in the streets.
Their use of the blue-and-white national flag, as opposed to Ortega's red-and-black Sandinista banner, didn't sit well with the government.
"Ortega has a problem," said Arturo McFields Yescas, a former Nicaraguan ambassador to the Organization of American States who resigned and denounced the Ortegas last year.
"What he can't control, he robs or destroys, he said. "The baseball or boxing champions, for example, have to pay tribute to the regime. If they don't, they become targets. Sheynnis has something; she came from the bottom, she doesn't owe anything to the dictatorship; and that makes her someone dangerous."...
"People lost the fear," Mr. McFields said, "and that's the part that scared the dictatorship the most."
Honestly, I think Ortega has reason to be afraid. He's a shriveled up socialist dictator and Palacios is none of those things. If this becomes the societal equivalent of a beauty contest, Ortega doesn't have a chance in hell.
