two, ortega retains the loyalty of the armed forces just like nicholas maduro. you say how the world and this government continue to just get in the level of of unrest in the country and the economic problems the country faces. clearly if you have the support of thearmy , those people who have the guns are the ones who are able to call the shots so as long as ortega is to retain that would be the way that maduro has in venezuela, it seems likely he will continue in office. three, ortega has shown a willingness to outshine maduro to do everything and anything to remain in power. >> whether or not the exit costs are too high or he has just been so addicted to power that he does not want to stepdown and that means he's going to kill his own population , innocent people and babies, children. in order to remain in power. and lastly, very tragically, nicaragua's opposition is fragmented and unprepared to govern, just like venezuela and i say this with all due respect to the protest movement but the protest movement is like the protest movements in venezuela, he needs
