The attacks against the independent media, in the first place against Confidencial, in 2008, and as of 2018, against practically all the others, undoubtedly lead us to think about the practices of those 80s. It should also be remembered that, as of January 1980, different rival parties of the fsln, first Trotskyist and Maoist groups and then the so-called "bourgeois" parties, saw at the same time how their members were threatened with aggression by the Sandinistas, and in some cases, outright prohibited. The forms of persecution of rival fsln parties, civil society organizations and the Catholic Church are once again reminiscent of the methods used during the 1980s.
There was no hesitation in resorting to the most improbable police Phone Number List judicial setups, as well as slander and most abject intimidations. Another very eloquent example is the totally disproportionate violence of the police, the fsln and their shock groups against the opponents. These actions are reminiscent of those used against those who, like members of Alfonso Robelo's Nicaraguan Democratic Movement, tried to protest against the control of the revolution by the fslnin the early 1980s, or even against the Miskito indigenous people at the same time.

In the same way, some murders of local peasant leaders who protested against the canal project or of Miskitos who denounced the invasion of their lands by settlers, as well as some cases of torture or murder in police stations, are in line with the committed 30 years ago against peasants and Indians suspected of belonging to the contras, or independent trade unionists who rejected control of the new Sandinista unions. The turn taken by the elections in 2011, 2016 and 2021 also has more than one feature in common with the 1984 elections.
