Sandinista vs other parties
What is your opinion about the FSLN Sandinista modus operandi vs. that of the Aleman / Chamorro / Bolaños or whoever from PLC/etc?
What you say matches with my experience: that it is is impossible to do business honestly in Nicaragua and be profitable. It's even almost impossible to get anything done at all (even at a loss) without employing dishonest practices like bribes and faked papers.
My gut instinct based on experience is that the alternatives to the Sandinistas, while less violent in their retributions, nevertheless do insist on their cut to the extent that they can.
