Very good interview with Sergio Ramirez. I would had like to know what changed the Sandinistas rhetoric once they got to power, confiscated the bourgeoisie and then they moved into the very mansions that they had confiscated. Where did the love for the poor and the simple, peasant life go? Talk is cheap.
There were hundreds of Nicaraguans who gave their lives for the ideals they preached. Talk about scam.
