Editor2 (2021-06-10). Elections in Nicaragua and International Media Manipulation. orinocotribune.com By Carlos Midence — June 6, 2021 | In order to understand their history better, Indian "subaltern studies" historians, since the 1970s, have set out to read backwards the history told via the eurocentric method of British imperialism, since this history told only a part of the story, based on erasures and concealments, among other fallacious techniques.

_____ (2021-06-09). The US Stake In Nicaragua And Honduras's 2021 Elections. popularresistance.org The issues that concern the US in Central America are rooted in more than a century of intervention in its politics. The forms of intervention have changed, of course, but always based on the fundamental aim of pursuing US corporate interests. For decades this meant supporting dictators like Nicaragua's Anastasio Somoza or Guatemala's Efraín Ríos Montt, but later it was more convenient to "promote democracy" until, two decades ago, democratic elections in Latin America produced the "wrong" results.
