The PLC has not only failed to preserve its alliances with the Christian Way, a number of different Liberal factions and the Nicaraguan Resistance, but is itself running as a divided force under Arnoldo Alemán’s unhealthy leadership. Alemán made sure he personally designated each and every candidate, guaranteeing that only his unconditional supporters would run, even at the risk of losing certain municipalities, as appears likely in Chinandega.
El PLC no sólo no ha logrado conservar a sus aliados de Camino Cristiano, de distintas facciones liberales y de la Resistencia Nicaragüense, sino que concurre dividido, y conservando la enfermiza dirección de Arnoldo Alemán, que ha ocupado el “dedo” para designar a todos los candidatos, con el objetivo de garantizarse que ninguno se escape de la esfera de sus incondicionales, aún a riesgo de perder cualquier alcaldía, como sucede en Chinandega.
