Managua, Nov 23 (IANS) Nicaragua’s National Assembly has approved president Daniel Ortega’s urgent proposal for a general constitutional reform, which encompasses major political and social changes, including the establishment of a joint presidency.
Following the approval, the legislature began reviewing the reform article by article. Since it involves constitutional amendments, the reform requires a second consecutive legislature’s approval, which is scheduled for January 2025.
According to Nicaraguan authorities, the reform aims to strengthen the rights of the Nicaraguan people through “direct democratic participation” and to consolidate stability, peace and work as the foundation for collective well-being.
Vice President Rosario Murillo said that the reform addresses the needs of a nation that deserves security, peace and guaranteed rights, ensuring that the people are the rightful owners of their history and land, Xinhua news agency reported.
One of the prominent changes in the proposed reform is the joint composition of the Presidency of the Republic, consisting of a co-president and a co-presidentess, as well as the extension of the presidential term from five to six years.
