Sandinista leader Ortega wins election, asks IMF for aid.(Inside Track)
Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega, who presided over Nicaragua's bloody communist dictatorship in the 1980s, is back as president-elect, scheduled to take over the reins of government in January. Ortega won the country's November 5 presidential election with a 38-percent plurality of the vote.
On November 16, Ortega and his economic team met with officials from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Inter-American Development Bank to request more aid to fight hunger in Nicaragua. Ortega reportedly assured the officials that he had learned his lesson from earlier errors and would not try to take his country down the Marxist road again.
