AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoOrtega’s Power Grab: Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega has proposed extending the presidential term by another year, with a National Assembly vote expected in September, alongside constitutional changes that would bar opposition figures labeled “traitors” or “coup plotters” from running for office. Election Crackdown: The move follows earlier reforms that already scrapped term limits, extended the term to six years, and elevated Rosario Murillo as co-president—critics say it’s designed to keep the Ortega-Murillo family in power indefinitely. Housing Affordability Watch: A new global affordability ranking using UN-Habitat data places Nicaragua at a home price-to-income ratio of 5.8, highlighting how far median incomes must stretch to buy a home. US Immigration Pressure: Separately, a US Supreme Court decision clearing the way to end Temporary Protected Status (including for Haitians) is raising alarms that labor shortages could worsen in sectors that rely on immigrant workers. Diplomatic Ripples: Nauru has severed ties with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, with Abkhazia’s officials blaming “unprecedented pressure” tied to Georgia and Western partners.
