Translation of article:

Nicaragua has implemented a foreign policy based on mutual respect with all countries.

The reform of the Nicaraguan Constitution modernizes this legal instrument, adapting it to the current challenges and needs of the country, and reaffirming that power is in the hands of the people.

According to political analyst William Grigsby Vado, this reform culminates the process of dissolution of the bourgeois State, whose maximum exponent was the Somoza dictatorship, and which subsequently evolved into a complex amalgam of popular and bourgeois interests.

The new Magna Carta must reflect, in the first place, the dynamic and constantly evolving nature of the Nicaraguan State, rejecting any static or fossilized vision.

Secondly, it must enshrine the exercise of popular power through direct democracy, manifested in the co-presidency of the Republic and in the state bodies coordinated by the presidency.

This Constitution reaffirms Nicaragua's commitment to peace and international law, rejecting all forms of aggression or military, political or economic intervention, and firmly opposing interference in the internal affairs of other States.

The Magna Carta of the Central American country also promotes the sovereignty and self-determination of nations.

A fundamental aspect of this reform is the recognition and protection of the rights of the peoples of the Nicaraguan coasts, a historical claim defended only by the Sandinista revolution.

So, does this effectively mean that Nicaragua is going from being kinda but not really actually socialist, to being actually socialist?

If this reform proceeds, then yes we can start calling Nicaragua an AES now that they have the dictatorship of the proletariat installed. This reform will also strengthen their gov't to foreign attacks.

Hope it happens, and hopefully, there’s no meddling from the U.S. this time!

Oh, it already started -> https://ni.usembassy.gov/press-release-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-the-situation-in-nicaragua/

The US already tagged Nicaragua recently as an "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy".

Like, how pathetic is the US that a country one hundredth its size is a national security threat?

Careful Nicaragua. Anymore vaguely left sounding words outta your government and the US will go on another central/south america coup spree /s

(I'm not familiar enough with Nicaraguan politics to know if this is a leftward step but it sounds like it)
