尼加拉瓜总统丹尼尔·奥尔特加控制的国会宣布启动工作计划，旨在实施暂停举行选举的决定 1。这一举措立即遭到国际社会的强烈反对。
联合国人权高专沃尔克·图尔克呼吁尼加拉瓜当局"重新开放公民空间，恢复法治" 1。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥则表示"尼加拉瓜人民有权通过民主选举选择领导人" 1。
奥尔特加自2007年以来已执政近20年 1。在其长期统治下，民主制度不断被侵蚀，包括暴力镇压抗议、监禁数千人和驱逐近100万尼加拉瓜人 1。在2021年选举前，奥尔特加政府禁止反对党，并将所有反对派总统候选人投入狱中 1。
根据上一年的宪法修改，总统任期已从5年延长至6年 1。按照原定安排，奥尔特加的任期应于下一年11月结束 1。
Nicaragua's congress, controlled by President Daniel Ortega, has announced a "work plan" to implement the suspension of elections 1. The announcement has drawn strong condemnation from the United Nations and the United States 1.
Ortega has governed since 2007, consolidating power through increasingly authoritarian measures 1. Prior to the 2021 elections, his administration banned opposition parties and imprisoned all opposition presidential candidates 1. A constitutional amendment passed the previous year extended the presidential term from five years to six years 1, with Ortega's current term set to end in November of the following year 1.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called on Nicaraguan authorities to "reopen civic space and restore the rule of law" 1. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that "the Nicaraguan people have the right to choose their leaders through democratic elections" 1.
The move represents a continuation of Ortega's erosion of democratic institutions, marked by violent suppression of protests, imprisonment of thousands, and the displacement of nearly one million Nicaraguans 1.
