Ortega 'could stand for fourth term.'
When they came to power in1979 they were communists and installed themselves as a Marxist, one party dictatorship on the Cuban model, allied with Castro and the Soviet Union.
Reagan's illegal support for guerrilla opposition forced the profoundly unwilling dictator, Daniel Ortega, to open the country to real, competitive elections and break off cooperation with Cuba and the Russians in supporting guerrillas and subversion throughout Latin America.
That was all Reagan wanted.
But Ortega to this day, like other admirers of Castro in presidential palaces, is impatient of constitutional limits on his power or its duration.
And so a chief duty of his party in the legislature is to push back those limits.
The left is generally fine with that, the radicals more than the others.
But when Hitler and Mussolini did that - or even Peron - the left was very unhappy.
