Daniel Ortega
Daniel Ortega is a Nicaraguan politician and former guerrilla leader who has served as the President of Nicaragua since 2007, previously holding the position from 1985 to 1990. A co-founder of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), Ortega played a key role in the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship in the late 1970s. His presidency has been characterized by controversy, including allegations of authoritarianism, human rights violations, and corruption.
